With everything that's been going on, don't expect him to go the way that they are publicizing.
There will be a 4 or 5 car advance train, too, along with lots of military air overhead. Wish I lived closer for photos.
Although plans may change and the train could be a diversion plans are definitely being made for a train for Biden. Here is preliminary FAA notice.

A good train set might be 2 or 3 P-42s towing an electric the several Amfleet-2 coaches then a V-2 diners , 2 lounges, V-2 diner, 2 or 3 V-2 sleepers, 300, and then 10003. 300 for obvious reasons to our knowledgeable posters.
JPS1 SD70Dude Is the Georgia 300 still available for Presidential use? A shame the Ferdinand Magellan is on display down in Florida, with all that armour it would be perfect for the security-concious politician! Given the state of American politics, every politician better be security-concious! Unlike our more civilized neighbors to the north, we tend to shoot our politicans!

Many years ago, when I was a student at Penn State, I took a course in Canadian history. A surprising number of Canadians, including my roommate and best friend, were Penn State students, and they took the course. I don't remember that much about it, but I don't recall any Canadian prime minister or governor general being assassinated.

The thread was discussing the inauguration, which occurs at the recently ransacked Capitol. Totally on topic since plans may need to be changed.
charlie hebdoDefinitely. Let's just hope we've seen the last of the Capitol riot/insurrection mobs. Lincoln, Grant and Sherman would have been appalled to see rebel flags desecrating our Capitol.
Thread was basically trains centric until this post.

NKP guy Mr. Biden rode his special train through Ohio before the election and now he'll take one to his innauguration. I think it's great to have an Amtrak-friendly, train-riding person become our President. It's also going to be a welcome thing to have a train-friendly Secretary of Transportation.

The Wilmington, Del to Washington D.C. ride on the NEC is about 90 min.
CNN reporting Biden will use Amtrak. Find it hard to believe. Would expect Harris not to travel same train if it happens. Security ? Oh Boy!!!. It will take a 1000 focal length to take a picture if even that. Only official photos would be able to get close ?
Biden to take train to Washington for inauguration, moving forward to 'not be deterred' by neither violence nor virus - CNNPolitics
