At Richmond, Indiana, a crowd of thousands await the three a.m. arrival of President Lincoln's train

The first town in Indiana President Lincoln's funeral train reached was Richmond, population twelve thousand.  At 3:10 a.m. an estimated crowd of twelve to fifteen thousand were waiting as the locomotive rolled into the Richmond depot which was impressively decorated with flowers, a ceremonial arch, and other signs of mourning.  The train stopped for just a few moments and then slowly pulled away to continue its journey to the state capital of Indianapolis.
