Funeral Train in NC
The Lincoln Funeral Train replica made a stop at Spencer, NC (near Salisbury) today, along with the Leviathan #63 Locomotive. Mary Todd Lincoln was also there (I didn't catch the reenactor's name, but she is a collateral descendant of Mary and looked very much like her).

Here are some exterior and interior shots of the train. It has a parlor, a sleeping area, and the room where the casket was kept.

I thought this was a marvelous re-creation of the funeral train. Do see it if you get the opportunity!
Here are Mary Lincoln and another interior train shot:
