4. Joe and President Obama went on a train on their way to DC

They stopped at the Wilmington station and had a rally. Joe told his story about James Joyce saying his heart would have a D for Dublin and Joe's has a D for Delaware. He tells that story repeatedly.

Thanks Joe

7. Agree. Joe and Kamala should be kept as safe as humanly possible.....

considering coronavirus and millions of enraged deplorables looking to exact revenge.

Particularly for the first year or so, caution should be the rule.

We can do without all the pomp and ceremony so they can promptly get to work on the war with this pandemic and many other extremely important issues weighing heavy on our nation.

13. Hey Cha! If the Axios story moved you, CNN's article will bring it home.

During his final train trip as vice president in 2017, Biden said riding the rails reminded him that politics was about more than just his success and career.

"What I used to do, literally, is you ride along here at night going home and you look out, you look in the windows and you see the lights on and think about, I mean this sincerely, what is going on at that kitchen table," Biden told CNN, gesturing to the homes whizzing by. "What are people thinking about, what are their real worries?"

When Biden arrived in Delaware that day, he was greeted with a hero's welcome: a marching band, friends and family, and a rally where he held back tears.

"You have been with me in victory," Biden said near the end of his speech. "You've been with me in defeat. You have all stayed with me."

10. Call sign: Amtrak 1 n/t

[Budi]

12. Awww! Yes.. Amtrak 1...

11. It's outdoors, with live action applause, high production values. It should be a great TV event!

The entourage arrival in Washington should be a great scene, as should the podium inaugural ceremony.

This is real leadership setting the best national example of American style, dignity and diversity.

14. Good for Mr. Biden!

Hearkening back to the whistle-stop tours of earlier ages. I hope it builds him some extra good will via those memories.
