[QUOTE=AndyPatterson;33217726]Was anybody in Wilmington today for this?! It's been several months since I was last on Amtrak, but I will toast them for the next 50 years... I can just barely remember the pre-Amtrak days, taking either the Empire Builder or the other train, on the Spokane - Minnesota route. Not sure if it was Union Pacific or Great Northern.

Actually it was the Great Northern which wound up as part of the BNSF--- also I watched the President's Speech on CSPAN and it didn't look like many people were there and wasn't given on an active platform.
