President Lincoln's funeral train makes its way across upstate New York to Buffalo

-
Abraham Lincoln's funeral train made a lengthy journey from Albany to Buffalo, New York. It left Albany at 4 p.m. and rolled across upstate New York only stopping for fuel and water. At each town, the locomotive slowed, allowing thousands gathered at all hours to pay their respects.  At 9:25 p.m., people waited in the pouring rain at Rome, for example.  At Rochester, thousands waited to see the train at 3:20 a.m. (By John Osborne)
