Train station to be named after Biden
By Keith Laing - 03/15/11 05:44 PM ET

The vice president is well known for commuting to Washington on Amtrak during his Senate career.

The Amtrak station in Wilmington, Del., will be named after long-time passenger rail advocate Vice President Joe Biden, according to a report.

Biden commuted to Washington via Amtrak throughout his Senate career.

The station was renovated partially using money from the federal economic stimulus package Biden trumpeted and has been in charge of overseeing for the administration. Of the project's $37.7 million price tag, $20 million came from the stimulus bill.

The station will be christened Joseph R. Biden, Jr. Railroad Station on Saturday, reported NBC10 in Philadelphia.

1. And I would actually call that station by its new name.......

...... unlike the horrific monicker that's been applied to National Airport.

6. When President Obama made a speech

about the passing of Health Care Reform, Biden was caught on open mic whispering to Obama, 'this is a 'big fucking deal'. :rofl:

I've heard that used a lot by talking heads and our DU'ers. I'm still trying to figure out what NGU means. ;)
