Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stood mere feet from where is predecessor stood in 2021, announcing a federal takeover of Washington, D.C.'s Union Station as part of President Donald Trump's plan to "make train travel great again." The problem, however, is that the new plan was stolen from former President Joe Biden's administration, according to a CNN reporter.

Duffy spoke to Fox News Tuesday morning talking about the "NextGen Acela," the slick, new Amtrak trains that rolled out of Union Station. He bragged that the new trains will also "increase reliability."

Senior CNN reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere posted an excerpt from Amtrak's own website, revealing that all the new improvements Duffy celebrated actually came from a considerable investment made by the Biden administration through the landmark infrastructure bill.

"The improvements that Secretary Duffy says are all part of Trump's 'vision to Make Travel Great again' are in fact from the Biden-signed bipartisan infrastructure act, and which were underway long before Trump took office again in January," wrote Dovere.

Those include "a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Amtrak and passenger rail to play a central role in improving how people move and securing our economic future." According to Amtrak, Biden's bill "provides $66 billion for rail, including: $22 billion directly to Amtrak over five years to repair or replace aging assets, modernize our fleet, improve station accessibility, and other capital projects and purposes defined under the law."

There will also be "$44 billion for Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) discretionary grants to support various improvements to passenger and freight railroads."

So far, Amtrak said that they've obtained $10.3 billion of the $44 billion earmarked. The company has used the funds to "support projects such as the Frederick Douglass Tunnel, East River Tunnel, Susquehanna River Bridge, Gulf Coast Corridor Improvement, and Chicago Union Station projects."

Duffy's own DOT website still cheers the Biden legislation as a "generational investment in America’s intermodal transportation system, of which freight and intercity passenger rail are an integral part and an engine of our economy."

Biden became known as "Amtrak Joe" after he was elected to the U.S. Senate and his wife and daughter were killed in a car crash the month after the election. Biden took the train to Washington every day and returned home to Wilmington every night.
