As a US Senator, Biden rode the train from Delaware to Washington DC - riding to work for decades.  He said that the conductors calculated it as 8,200 round trips, over 2 million miles on Amtrak. Two hundred and fifty nine miles round trip a day, not every day, but on average 217 days a year.
(quoting an article from January 2017):

Biden was friendly with all the workers on the trains.  He is pro-labor. How could anyone think he would be unsympathetic to railroad workers?

I guess what is unfathomable to me (besides the totally inhumane treatment that these people endured) is - Were they on a commercial airlines? Did a government official fly with them?  How long was this plan in place?

The particulars of this story seem to be missing in most press reports that I've read today
