President Lincoln's casket lays in state at the State Capitol in Indianapolis, Indiana

President Lincoln's train reached Indianapolis, Indiana at seven o'clock in the morning on a Sunday that would see a constant heavy downfall of rain.  The coffin was placed on display at the State Capitol and remained there all day.  The dreadful weather caused the cancellation of a planned parade and other ceremonies but thousands viewed the president's open casket.  The funeral train left the city after midnight, bound for Chicago, Illinois.
