It's about 110 miles between DC and Wilmington DE. Biden was a Senator for 36 years. the Senate is in session an average of 164 days a year (this is 2001-2021, which only overlaps with Biden's tenure for 5 years).[1]
110 * 2 * 164 * 36 ~ 1.3 million miles.
My hypothesis is that an Amtrak conductor gave Biden this calculation, but his brain associated the story with a different, more colorful conductor.
