Obama Starts Ride Into History
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: January 18, 2009
President-elect Barack Obama stepped onto a train car built in 1939, a time when his presidency would not have been possible in America, and set off for Washington on Saturday in a three-day prelude to his inauguration as the country's 44th president.
Obama opened his inauguration celebration at Philadelphia's 30th Street Station, where supporters gathered to send him off. They went on to Wilmington, Del., where Vice President-elect Joe Biden and his family came aboard. The whistle-stop tour also was scheduled to stop in Baltimore, with slowdowns at several points along the way to greet the expected crowds of supporters.
