In two days time Joe Biden will of course be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States. I was wondering what this will mean for railways in the United States?
I know Joe Biden is a railways fan he was nicknamed "Amtrak Joe" when he was first elected to the senate as he would travel daily on Amtrak from Delaware to Washington which takes several hours. He has also mentioned several times that he is a lover of Amtrak.
Given the low usage Amtrak has compared to most national railways it would be nice if his administration did improve services. I am aware however that most railway services in the United States are not the responsibility of the federal government but rather state governments.
