I Guess It Will Service The Slow Trains
Mar 16, 2011 Political
The Wilmington Amtrak station in Delaware underwent major renovations and will be dedicated on Saturday as the Joseph R. Biden Jr. Station. This is to honor Biden because he used the train to commute to and from DC while he was a Senator.
I guess they ran out of people to name stations after. I think the name of the town was appropriate so people would know where they were (I assume the name Wilmington will be visible to passengers) but it looks like the 20 million dollars from the Stimulus that helped fund the renovation was enough to get the station named after the gaffe prone VP.
Since it is named after Biden will all the slow trains stop there?
And will those trains be prone to mishaps?
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
