Lincoln Funeral Locomotive

Description

Abstract:
Photograph postcard of "88 Locomotive, Dean Richmond drew funeral train, Phila.". This may be a photograph of the "The Dean Richmond" which Lincoln rode in 1861 as the president-elect, and again 5 years later on his funerary journey back to Illinois. Many different "Nashville" style locomotives were used in the 1,666 mile trip back to Springfield, and it is unsure which locomotive this is specifically.
