I had the chance this past weekend to visit the North Carolina Transportation Museum (aka Spencer Shops) for the Lincoln Funeral Train Exhibit and ride behind Leviathan. Here is a short video from the festivities:

Nice video and cool subjects. The lincoln car is neat and the Leviathan is super sweet. They really knew how to spruce up the engines back then.
Beautiful loco and car.
What a timely post… My wife and I were at “Hildene” yesterday (Todd Lincoln’s summer home in Manchester, Vermont He was president of the Pullman Company) They have the Pullman Car “Sunbeam”. In conversation, the fate or current location of the funeral car came up… Last anyone there knew it belonged to Dr Durant. Thanks for the very timely post!
