what's this?

this is not bike-related at all. Well, hardly at all. Don't worry, I'll get back to the trip write-ups soon.

Hmm. Why do I suspect it's Joe Biden's ride home?

You're probably right that this object is currently located in Delaware because of Joe Biden. But he can't take credit for its existence in the first place -- it was already being built when he was elected to the Senate.

It's a TurboLiner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turboliner). Well really, it's three of the four complete Turboliners; the other one and a bunch of parts are here (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&ll=42.847877,-73.996334&z=19).

it isn't an Acela

No, but you can see in the picture that it's painted in Acela colors.
