Local DC radio DJ will be broadcasting live from Obama's Train

Barack Obama, his family and WPGC's Guy Lambert will make their way into Washington for his inaugural by train, with a whistle-stop procession that will begin with an event in Philadelphia. The train tour, on Saturday, Jan. 17, will stop in Wilmington to pick up Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his family and proceed to Baltimore for another event before arriving in Washington.

The presidential party will be traveling on a special charter train. Inaugural planners say the railway ride will allow people who aren’t going to Washington for the inaugural to participate in it just the same. Mr. Obama’s route most directly recalls that of Abraham Lincoln, who rode from Springfield to Washington by train in 1861.

Obama's plans, announced by his Presidential Inaugural Committee, set the tone for the many activities leading to the swearing-in at noon Jan. 20 at the Capitol. The official Washington events are scheduled to begin Jan. 18, most likely with a large-scale event on the Mall in which Obama makes an appearance.

WPGC's Guy Lambert will report LIVE from the train during the day long ride starting at 10am.
