ALBANY >> The 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s funeral train – which
took the slain president’s remains on a slow journey from Washington to
Springfield, Ill. – comes to New York this weekend, with events in New York
City, Albany and Buffalo.

The National Park Service program includes stops in each of the cities that
held services for Lincoln, who was assassinated on Good Friday, April 14,
1865, and buried in Springfield, Ill., on May 3. In its size and scope,
there has not been a funeral as big as Lincoln’s before or since in U.S.
history.
