In his home city of Wilmington, Delaware, the train station has been named after Joe Biden.
Every work day for 36 years the then US senator would take the 90 minute Amtrak train to Washington DC and back again, earning him the nickname 'Amtrak Joe'.
It is a part of Joe Biden's life that is frequently used in his campaign ads to promote his image as someone who is in touch with the common man, but it is also a part of his life that stemmed from unimaginable tragedy.
His first wife, along with his baby daughter, were killed in a car crash in 1972 leaving him a widower with two young sons.
He was determined to be home every night to look after his boys.
It is estimated that over the course of three decades Joe Biden travelled around 2 million miles and spent four years of his life commuting by train to work.
The journey looks very different in the era of Covid-19 with social distancing, near-empty carriages and masked passengers.
One such passenger, Cole Cooper, said anybody would be an improvement on Donald Trump.
"As a candidate Joe Biden's fine but overall we just need a return to some sort of logic in American politics," he said.
Another passenger, Georgina Scoville, also said she would be backing Joe Biden but added that he was not her first choice during the primaries.
"I'm 20 and this is my first election. I'm pretty disappointed that the candidate is an old white man but it is what it is and I will be voting for him," she said.
There was a sense from many of the train passengers that while they will be voting for Joe Biden, they did not see him as the perfect candidate.
He has had his issues over the years.
The former US vice president can be gaffe-prone. He has been accused of exaggerating and fabricating stories, and allegations of plagiarism helped scupper a previous presidential run in 1987.
He was criticised for his handling of the confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who had been accused of sexual harassment by Anita Hill.
Mr Biden has also faced his own allegations of inappropriate behaviour with women and has been criticised for opposing court-ordered busing as a method of desegregation in public schools.
It was an issue that saw him come under attack from Kamala Harris during the Democratic primaries but the pair have clearly put their differences behind them.
Senator Harris made history last night by becoming the first Black woman to formally accept the nomination for US vice president.
Also last night, the Democratic Convention was addressed by former US President Barack Obama.
The "bromance" between Barack Obama and Joe Biden is well documented and both men speak fondly of each other.
Barack Obama was there to console him when Joe Biden lost his son Beau in 2015 to brain cancer aged just 46.
The former vice president also speaks with great fondness about Ireland.
He traces his roots to counties Louth and Mayo and made a high-profile visit to Ireland in 2016.
"Northeast Pennsylvania will be written on my heart. But Ireland will be written on my soul," Joe Biden wrote on ancestry.com in 2016.
Last November, he voiced his support for protecting the Good Friday Agreement.
He said it was something he cared a great deal about and that he would continue to put pressure on Britain to ensure there is no return to a hard border after Brexit.
He said he has made it clear in the past that he doesn't support "breaking down" what is currently in place.
"We don't want a guarded border again. We don't want to do it," Mr Biden said. Earlier this month, senior Democrats said that Joe Biden will be a friend to Ireland if elected US president.
The Biden campaign held a virtual rally for Irish-American voters and Democratic Congressman Brendan Boyle told the event that the Brexit process had put hard won peace and justice in Ireland at risk.
"What a refreshing change it will be to have Joe Biden come this January. To have someone who supports the Good Friday Agreement and wants to protect it," Congressman Boyle said.
Tonight, Joe Biden will address the Democratic Convention from his beloved Wilmington, Delaware, just a short distance from the train station that bears his name.
The journey to becoming the party's nominee has been a long one for 'Amtrak Joe' and he is hoping the next stop on this route will be the White House.
