WILMINGTON, Del. — Amtrak is naming its refurbished station here in honor of Vice President Joe Biden, who regularly commuted between Washington and his home in Wilmington for most of his U.S. Senate career that spanned almost 25 years.

A station on New Jersey Transit in Secaucus, N.J., is named for Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), who has championed rail-commuter and Amtrak investment his entire Senate career that spans 30 years.
