A veteran pizza delivery man in Delaware got an order from an unusual address: an Amtrak train that got stalled on the tracks for hours on its way from New York to Washington, D.C.

Passenger Mitchell Katz posted a video of delivery man Jim Leary walking up to the train Sunday evening as it sat on the tracks. People on board were getting restless after being left without access to food or water during the long delay and eventually some passengers came up with the idea of ordering a pizza, Katz said.

Leary, a driver for Dom's Pizza in Newport, Delaware, tells The Associated Press he cut through a backyard, navigated a steep embankment and jumped over a water-filled ditch all while balancing the two pies in order to make the delivery.

Isn’t that Joe Biden’s preferred mode of transportation? To hear him describe it, it never failed. I’ve taken longer Amtrak rides (CT-Chicago, CT-DC) and the train schedule is mostly aspirational.

Amtrak is throwing in with the airlines with their customer service.

in the mid 80’s, myself and 6 friends were at the Local High Class Restaurant/bar watching Monday Night Football, the Game was going in to Overtime. The Kitchen closed at 9:00 and refused to make some food, so my buddy Ordered Domino’s Pizza and this guy walked right in to the Restaurant and Delivered 2 Large Pizzas to our Table. It was Hilarious, but they were all good with it after explaining why we ordered Pizza.
