Biden no longer taking Amtrak to inauguration amid security concerns

President-elect Joe Biden will no longer take the Amtrak to Washington next week to be sworn in as president, two officials familiar with the planning tell CNN, a sudden change that comes amid dramatically heightened security surrounding the inauguration.

A decision was made this week for Biden not to take the 90-minute ride from his namesake station in Wilmington, Delaware, officials said, with at least some of the concerns hinging on his arrival at Union Station in Washington, which is only blocks from the now heavily fortified US Capitol.

Biden previously had instructed his team to keep moving forward with the plans for inauguration, including taking the Amtrak, and to not be deterred by the deadly riot at the US Capitol last week or by complications caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

But since then, the security concerns have intensified, as more has been learned about the attack on the Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump, which left five people dead, and the potential threats surrounding the January 20 inauguration. …

The freight RRs are still over regulated.

From what I see most rail cars spend most of their time sitting around.

The ‘net should provide a model to promote faster packet transport and switching for the rail cars.

Remote automated couplers should be invented and implemented.

Autonomous locos would be arguably more easily implemented than autonomous trucks.

I do love to to watch Railroad operations on occasion.

Private railcars tacked onto Amtrak trains are a fun way to go.

I thought Joe was all primed for a “virtual inauguration.” What gives?

To deliberately install an illegitimate and fraudulently elected grifter as President... is high treason. And to knowingly allow it to happen is in itself an act of treason.

Having Biden take the oath is defrauding the office of the president and the constitution.

If you are the president, and you are the last line of defense that can STOP the installation of a Manchurian candidate occupying the throne. Then the president MUST do his duty and die on the hill, period!

Doesn’t matter if the powers that be threaten you or they turn their backs on the evidence pretending it doesn’t exists.

This is WAR against a foreign influence/power, against actors and corrupt internal operatives that are attempting to gain/maintain control over the functions of our government by occupying the most powerful office in the world.

I know what I would do... The Insurrection Act.

Pull the lever Mr. President!

Absolutely true about overregulation. One of the most damaging ones was the rule where firemen were retained after steam traction was retired in favor of diesel-electric, who basically got paid to sit on the other side of the locomotive cab.

Modern overregulation drove the consolidation of most railroad companies into five big Class 1 entities, thus eliminating competition and creating an oligarchy. (There were 33 Class 1 railroads in the 1980s.)

These are bullshit stories to fan the sparks of war. They want to encourage us to violence. And then come after guns with a new gusto and excuse.

I, too, don't wish death on him. I'm not too sure he's aware of what's happening.

If I REALLY want to get all Tin Foil Game Theory on this, the end game is for Kamala to have ten years of reign. For that to happen, Dementia Joe has to last a day over 2 years, THEN Kamala ascends, "wins" election* in 2024 and "wins" RE-election* in 2028.

As long as the aluminum hat is still affixed, I also suspect Queen Jill, who has likely grit her teeth through the hot mess of a family into which she married to obtain the spoils of First Lady privilege, is NOT going to "trust the process." I suspect she has a Deadman's Switch somewhere, as a hedge against Joe suffering an accidental self-inflicted double-tap headshot accident.

I can see how the train stops might be confusing to him.

The DNC will have Biden spectacularly assassinated (instead of just waiting for him to die) so president Harris will have an excuse for mass execution of all “terrorist” Republicans.

They are coming for the guns regardless of what the.Patriots do. So I ask what is the hill to die on? They just successfully stole two of three branches of the government in plain sight and the third refused to even hear the challenge of the stealing. So I ask at what point is the time to open the safe and.take those warm security blanket safe queens out and use them? Holding them at night hiding alone is not going to right the wrong that already jas happened to the republic. No legal solutions exist at this point, no magic ruling or finding or voting two years from now is going to fix it. So I put it out there when is it time to use the 2A to redress the treason that has already happened when?
