How on earth is a train trip from Philly to DC a “recreation of [Lincoln’s] from Springfield, Ill”?
Because it’s a train, and not a mule or an Escalade or a unicycle?
I'm betting because His Hubris wants to be seen onboard the sleek electric Acela 
and not onboard a standard Amtrak passenger train pulled by a smelly old diesel P42 Genesis locomotive...
Of course the electric is limited to routes with available catenary, like the Northeast Corridor.
“My friends, no one, not in my situation, can appreciate my feeling of sadness at this parting. To this place, and the kindness of these people, I owe everything. Here I have lived a quarter of a century, and have passed from a young to an old man. Here my children have been born, and one is buried. I now leave, not knowing when, or whether ever, I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. Without the assistance of the Divine Being who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail. Trusting in Him who can go with me, and remain with you, and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well. To His care commending you, as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate farewell.”
And this Obamination that was elected presupposes he's Lincoln's equal?????
