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.
