President Lincoln's funeral took place by rail, on a funeral train. Lincoln's funeral train was the first national commemoration of a president's death by rail. Lincoln's train not only passed through and stopped, but his body was lying in state and was observed, mourned, and honored by the citizens of Washington DC, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, with the final resting ceremony taking place in Springfield, Illinois.
