Obama Historic Train Ride Chugging Along


President-Elect Obama is re-tracing the final stages of the train trip that Lincoln made to assume the presidency.


Obama's train will journey through stops in Wilmington, Delaware.They will pick up Vice President-elect Joe Biden,and the proceed to Washington DC. They will arrive in the capital on the eve of a start-studded inaugural concert at the Lincoln Memorial.



Perhaps, this will spark a renewed interest in train travel throughout the country. Sadly, the closet most Americans have come to a train ride, is a local subway or roller coaster.
