The country lies in mourning while the slain President's coffin leaves Washington, D.C. backtracking almost the exact route he followed to Washington as President when elected four years earlier. Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth President of the United States, was assassinated on Good Friday April 14, 1865. The President's coffin travelled home in a special private car built for him while alive but never used until this sad occasion. The funeral train travelled from Washington to Baltimore and on to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It was headed by Pennsylvania Railroad Locomotive 331 and was draped in black. Lincoln's coffin is moved to the Pennsylvania State House of Representatives to lie in state. 40,000 people lined Harrisburg's streets when the coffin returned to the depot to begin its journey to Philidelphia's Broad Street Station. Public viewings were repeated in Philadelphia before the pattern started over in Jersey City, New York, Cleveland, Columbus and Chicago. The procession eventually arrived in Springfield on May 4th. On each cross over from one railroad to the other the engine was changed and the train made stops at every town along the way to give Americans a chance to pay their last respects.
