Funeral Car
The funeral train—or cortege, as it was called—left Washington, D.C. on April 21, taking a circuitous route through 15 states and some 180 towns and cities, including New York, Cleveland, and Indianapolis. With the exception of the president’s car, which carried Lincoln’s body, the others changed frequently as the train moved from one railroad line to the other. The president’s car was built at the Military Railroad System shop in Alexandria, Virginia

Lincoln Funeral Train- Chicago at Lake Michigan
One of the best accounts of the Chicago-to-Springfield journey comes from Chicago & Alton brakeman William S. Porter, who was part of conductor George Hewitt’s crew. “As I remember the funeral train,” Porter wrote in 1917, “it consisted of one baggage car, several ordinary coaches and the catafalque car (the one carrying Lincoln’s body), which was the second car from the rear end of the train.”
