After departing Cleveland, Biden’s train is scheduled to stop in Alliance, Ohio, with a tentative time of 11:45 a.m., according to WFMJ-TV. While Biden will make five appearances in Pennsylvania, news reports differ on the number of those that will be part of the train tour. Tentatively scheduled, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, are:
— Pittsburgh, 2:20 p.m. (train stop)
— Greenburg, Pa., 3:45 p.m. (train stop)
— New Alexandria, Pa, 4:30 p.m. (apparently not a train stop)
— Latrobe, Pa., 5:20 p.m. (reports conflict on whether this is a train stop)
— Johnstown, Pa., 7:30 p.m. This is a drive-in event.
Biden is no stranger to rail-related campaign trains. As Spectrum News reports, when he announced his presidential campaign in 1987, he and his family traveled to Washington via the “Biden Express” special, and Biden and then-President-elect Barack Obama rode Amtrak to Obama’s inauguration in 2009. And Biden is well known for his use of and support for Amtrak [see “Joe Biden’s Amtrak connection,” Trains News Wire, Sept. 25, 2020].
