Biden claims he had Amtrak train key, rode home 15% of time with engineers

Biden claimed Monday that he had an Amtrak train key when he was a senator and would ride “about 15% of the time” with engineers on trips home to Delaware.

The 80-year-old president shared the memory in Baltimore while touting $4 billion from his $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law that will be used to build a pair of train tunnels in the city to replace a passage from 1873.

“I can say it now since there’s different leadership. I used to about 15% of the time ride with the engineers, for real. And I’m the only guy that I’m aware of — when I stopped riding Amtrak — that had a key to get in the back,” Biden said.

It’s unclear if Biden has told the story before, though he regularly shares personal anecdotes that fall apart under scrutiny.

Amtrak spokespeople did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

$4 Billion? That’s about $400 million for The Big Guy.

And he proved with geometric logic, that such a key did exist.

Nice!

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The dark, ugly side of Walter Mitty Biden.

In Biden-speak, “for real” is code for “i’m lying”

Really, where is Chuck Barris when you need him. Biden needs the gong.

The search for the Amtrak key in the Bidens residences, is now in progress....

This mother effer is out of control.

Get his ass to hell out of being POTUS or the C-sucker will have us in a full blown nuclear war.

Did cornpop ride with him?

Not only did Biden ride with the engineers, he often pitched in and drove trains when engineers were unavailable.

Here we see Mr. Biden driving the Amtrak ‘Empire Builder’ from Chicago to Seattle.

He also drove the Hooterville Cannonball.

Confabulating again.

[RckyRaCoCo]

Don’t know. Got to do with where choo-choo go.

[RedMonqey]

Funny, for “Average Joe”, Biden sure does pull the “You know who I am” card to do things no average Joe could get away with.

He enjoys poking the eyes of us commoners.
Or he’s lying again and enjoying that knowing the lapdog media won’t raise a finger.

Joe kept his key on his caboose key chain.

I bet the nice conductors gave him a ice cream cone on each trip too.
