Newly elected President of the United States Joe Biden aka ‘Amtrak Joe’?

He received this nickname after traveling by train every day to commute between Washington DC and his home in Delaware. Tragically, he lost his wife and daughter in a car accident in 1972 and was then sworn into the Senate on his son’s hospital bed. For the next 36 years, he reportedly traveled by train every day to go home with his sons.
President Elect Joe Biden in 2010 wrote an article for Amtrak’s Arrive magazine entitled Why America Needs Trains. HuffPost republished the same article. In it, he described both his emotional connection to train Journey, saying it was what had allowed him to be a senator in the first place, but also because of problems such as climate change and congestion
The president-elect has already announced his intention of re-joining the Paris Agreement as soon as he sworns in. The United States officially left the Paris Agreement on 4 November 2020 under the Trump administration.

On twitter Amtrak Joe Biden:
“Today, the Trump Administration officially left the Paris Climate Agreement, and in exactly 77 days, The Biden Administration will re-join. 
Fittingly, the President and CEO of Amtrak, Bill Flynn, has issued a statement welcoming the new Biden administration.
He addressed the economic outfall of the coronavirus pandemic both with regards to paying staff and investing in railway infrastructure. He also highlighted rail’s role in decarbonising transport, pointing out that the vast majority of these transport emissions come from road vehicles.
