Who doesn't love an American 4-4-0.

Photo shows a Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati Railroad engine, with a portrait of Abraham Lincoln mounted on the front. The engine was one of several used to carry Lincoln's body from Washington, D.C., to Springfield, Ill. This photograph is a copy, probably made in the early 1900s, of a photo taken in 1865. Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division.

On this day in 1865, President Abraham Lincoln's funeral train left Washington, D.C., en route to its final destination of Springfield, Illinois. The journey took 13 days and covered 1,700 miles through seven states. The train that carried the slain president was called the “Lincoln Special.” 🧵
