Joseph R. Biden Jr. Railroad Station (WIL)
The station is just blocks from the heart of downtown Wilmington, and it’s the ninth-busiest Amtrak station in the country – only two hours on regional rail from New York City and Washington D.C., and less than that on the Acela Express Metroliner. SEPTA commuter trains also run directly from Philadelphia into Wilmington and Newark.
