Obama Train on Saturday; Were you there?

Does anyone have photos and/or reports of the Obama train running from Philly to D.C. on Saturday? I saw the News Wire photos.

Thanks!

Take a look at the thread on the General Discussion forum for starters.

RIDEWITHMEHENRY is the name for our almost monthly day of riding trains and transit in either the NYCity or Philadelphia areas including all commuter lines, Amtrak, subways, light rail and trolleys, bus and ferries when warranted. No fees, just let us know you want to join the ride and pay your fares. Ask to be on our email list or find us on FB as RIDEWITHMEHENRY (all caps) to get descriptions of each outing.

 Thanks. That discussion degenerated into political talk. I found numerous videos on youtube. They range from o.k. to "shakey cam". People are cheering the inspection train and press train.
