I hear that Obama will be taking a train down to Washington, and I have a few questions about this. To start with, if anybody knows, will he be renting a train or taking a public one, or does he know someone with one?
News reports state that Obama is chartering a train. Most likely one that will have room for lots of Secret Service agents and with the track inspected quite thoroughly before the trip.
I am interested in finding out if it will use the pantograph between Philli and Washington or if will use diesel all the way down.
The TSA guys that bad ??

I got an e-mail from the campaign earlier today about signing up for “whistlestops” that seemed weird. It’s comprehensible now. Thanks! Hope he and his family enjoy the trip. Pittsburgh as seen from the Amtrak line is quite beautiful. I wonder if this was at the urging of his VP, the Senator from Amtrak?
Well from what I understand he’ll be starting from Philly. cite. So no view of Pittsburgh. I can’t really blame them, though. That’s one long-ass train ride.
Yeah, but when is he going to have the chance to take one during the next 4 or 8 years?
