“Bidenomics” =’s All about Amtrak Tweets
From Monday…
Join me as I deliver remarks on how my Administration is fixing long-standing infrastructure needs including the largest investment in passenger rail since the creation of Amtrak. https://t.co/Nqnf7ThyXH

The YouTube is 21 minutes and 59 seconds long. His full remarks can be found here.
I'm announcing more than $16 billion will fund 25 different American railroad projects to rebuild the Northeast Corridor from Boston to Washington, D.C.
— President Biden (@POTUS) November 6, 2023
That's the largest investment in rail since the creation of Amtrak.
Look, guys, we’re announcing a historic investment in America’s railroads. I’ve been talking about this for a long time, I know. But finally — finally, we’re getting it done. More than $16 billion — 16 — with a “B” — billion dollars here in the Northeast Corridor. (Applause.) Twenty-five different projects. All to build a Northeast Corridor from Boston to Washington.
[snip]
It included the largest investment in passenger rail since Amtrak was created 50 years ago: $66 billion for world-class rail right here at home. And that includes the largest investment in the Northeast Corridor since the Pennsylvania Railroad laid down these tracks in 1850 — in 1850.
White House.gov. 11/06/2023.
Over 2,200 trains run on the Northeast Corridor every day serving 800,000 passengers.
— President Biden (@POTUS) November 6, 2023
It’s the busiest corridor in the United States – and one of the busiest in the world.
Today, it gets the investment it deserves. pic.twitter.com/r97MedLZPG
Over 2,200 trains run on this corridor every single day, serving 800,000 passengers. It’s the busiest rail corridor in the United States and one of the busiest in the world. And you guys keep it moving. You guys keep it moving. (Applause.)
White House.gov. 11/06/2023.
After our work is done, we’ll reduce delays and speed up the trains all along the Northeast Corridor.

It matters for businesses trying to get their goods to market.
It matters for parents commuting to work in the morning.
And for folks trying to get home at night for dinner. pic.twitter.com/fxfck5OLdz
Look, when all this is done, we’ll reduce delays and speed up the trains along the Northeast Corridor.
This matters for businesses trying to get their goods to market. It matters for the parent commuting to work in the morning. It matters for folks trying to get home li- — at — for dinner. It matters to thousands of people who ride the trains on the Northeast Corridor.

I took the tweet out of order to prevent confusion for me, and you…

Remarks by President Biden on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law; the YouTube is 1 hour and 1 minute long. President Biden’s remarks start at the 41 minute and 46 second mark. (01/31/2023):
And, by the way, as a U.S. senator, I commuted, for 36 years, every single solitary day the Senate was in session. I traveled over 1,100,000 miles on Amtrak. And I can tell you where all the delays were. (Laughter.) And they weren’t all in Wilmington, Delaware.
[snip]
And the problem — a problem anywhere along the line means delays up and down the East Coast for folks trying to get to work, businesses trying to ship goods, travelers trying to get to see their families.

Remarks by President Biden at an Event Marking Amtrak’s 50th Anniversary; the YouTube is 1 hour and 25 minutes long. President Biden’s remarks begin at the 53 minute and 21 second mark. (04/30/2021):
So, it has been part of my life. I’ve been riding an Amtrak for almost as long as there’s been an Amtrak. And I’ve come to see that Amtrak doesn’t just carry us from one place to another; it opens up enormous possibilities. And especially now, it makes it possible to build an economy of the future and one that we need.
