Obama has always supported Amtrak, and Biden is one of it's biggest fans. 
Amtrak ridership, at least in the Northeast corridor is way up, and Amtrak 
is closely tied to the local light rail, at least in NY and southeastern PA 
(Amtrak owns and maintains much of the track in the northeast). I suspect at 
least some of Obama's fake 'jobs' money will go to mass transit. Good news 
for me, since that is where my ex works (in the regional track department at 
Amtrak), and hence where my child support comes from.
