It's the first of two rail-related stops this week for Biden, who was a regular Amtrak commuter during his years in the Senate. Then he heads to Philadelphia.
WASHINGTON — Ulysses S. Grant was still president when workers finished the Baltimore and Potomac Tunnel, which connected Philadelphia and Washington through rail travel for the first time.
But 150 years later, the tunnel that runs under some of Baltimore’s residential neighborhoods is more of a chokepoint than a lifeline. There’s only one tube, and trains need to slow down to just 30 mph to navigate a tight turn on the southern end.
