About The 4-4-0

Following his assassination, the body of Abraham Lincoln embarked on a nearly 1,700-mile journey before he was finally laid to rest in Springfield, Ill. The president lied in repose at two Washington, D.C., locations — first, on April 18th, in the East Room of the White House and then the Capitol rotunda on the 20th. Following a private prayer service for members of his Cabinet, an honor guard took Lincoln’s coffin and loaded it onto a special funeral train, led by Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati's "Nashville".

More than 10,000 people watched the engine and its nine cars — including the presidential car hastily remade into a hearse — begin its 1,654-mile trip back to Lincoln's hometown. The casket was accompanied by a group of Lincoln relatives and personal friends, as well as a military honor guard made up of luminaries from each branch of the armed forces. The train also contained the body of Lincoln’s 11-year-old son, Willie, an 1862 victim of typhoid fever, whose body was disinterred in order to join his father in Springfield.
