RE: Extra Credit Questions
That's an excellent initial estimate, Joe. You are pretty close, but that's not it.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
If you are thinking of the whole train (9 cars+gaps in between) it should have been much longer, I'd guess 150 feet.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Hi Eva. I am not sure about the length of the entire train, but I have a little book that has the length of the car that carried the president's remains.

Then my final guess will be less than 40 feet, maybe 30 feet.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
My very last guess of the remaining 9 options (unless you're not asking for decimal places): 45 feet.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Close enough, Eva. It was 48 feet according to page 6 of Mr. Lincoln's Railroad Car by H. Robert Slusser. This is a wonderful publication and contains photos of the car and its furnishings that are difficult to find in any other source.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Kudos, Eva. That is correct. Robert Lincoln attended Phillips Exeter Academy in 1859 after he failed the Harvard entrance exams.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Who said about Abraham Lincoln that he "resembles Louis XVI more than any other ruler in history"?
