Obama Train Travel Count Down

January 11th, 2009 Posted in Train Travel Update

It is approximately 9 days to go before Barrack Hussein Obama’s Inauguration on January 20. The Obama Family will be traveling by train. AMTRAK will again be the center of attention for this month. The president’s group is scheduled to kick off the Inauguration in January 17 with a train travel that will pass by Delaware, Maryland and to their destination Washington, DC.

Obama and his family would like to retrace the train travel of Abraham Lincoln. At that time Lincoln was taken from one station to another under cover darkness to prevent a dreaded assassination attempt.

AMTRAK together with the police officers are expected to secure the security and cover the 157 miles Obama train travel. The ‘Whistle Stop Tour’ will start at Philadelphia and the group will pick up Vice President-elect and his family at Wilmington, Del.

The president supported the idea of having a high-speed train and connecting states like Chicago, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Detroit. So, AMTRAK, would be having great years ahead with the first black American president in White House.

Amtrak provides railway services to citizens of United States. The railway name is a blend of the terms “America’ and ‘track’.

Among the developed countries, USA lacked the facilities of a high speed railway. With the Obama train travel- history repeats itself; AMTRAK will hopefully be gallantly dressed with the newest technology available for a high speed train with Pres. Obama on the White House, of course.

People will flock to Washington, DC to watch the most controversial and transcendental president on the Inauguration. Perhaps we will have time to visit Fords Theater, the site of the assassination of the considered greatest president of the United States of America.

Peterson House is the location where the late president Lincoln was brought after he was shot; just fronting Fords Theater. After the Inauguration, perhaps the idea of learning espionage in a museum would amuse family and kids then go to International spy Museum.
