    Republicans are investigating chartering an Amtrak train???

    The Biden response:
    Anyone can charter a train with Amtrak. Last time we checked, no one can charter the White House South Lawn for a political convention

    Who in the F would transfer "needed medical equipment" on a passenger train system?

    That is funny... Good thing this is coming from the minority, so it can be ignored...

    Actually, I didn't know anybody could charter a train with Amtrak... that sounds fun... I bet it's more than the $200 I'd be willing to spend on it though...

    I imagine you thought this was witty, but I don’t think anyone knows WTH you’re talking about. I’m guessing it’s the typical whataboutisms you love?

    Admitting you imagined something is a big step. That is an improvement from claiming to know what I am thinking.

    If you ever want to know, you can always ask :)

    Here's some more on this October Train Smocking Gun Surprise ...

    SNIP
    “Operation of charter trains is an important revenue source for Amtrak and one that supports other parts of our business. Customers range from sports teams to businesses, historical groups, and even individuals whose private railcars are coupled to our trains,” said Amtrak spokesperson Marc Magliari. “Pricing for charters is based on our customer’s operational needs and additional services. In this instance, the rate aligns with our standard practice and market rates that anyone seeking this service would be charged. There were no discounts or scheduling preferences.”

    Sounds to this intrepid poster like the Biden campaign was investing in one of the forgotten industries in this country during a pandemic... Beats the crap out of another dozen TV ads....

    Yes. There are a few train clubs in NJ that rent a rail car at the back of a commuter train for daily commutes to and from NYC. Can avoid the standing room only during rush hour.

    Also, for the beginning of the year in Congress, both the R's and D's rent a whole train to go down to DC on the first day (usually with other politicians and donors.)
