COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A full-size replica of a steam
locomotive that pulled Abraham Lincoln’s funeral car will visit Ohio
this week.
The Leviathan 63 engine is part of the planned 2015
Lincoln Funeral Train project that will re-enact the U.S. president’s
final journey from Washington D.C. to Springfield, Illinois. The
Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/1qLv3dz )
reports Ohio will get an advance look at the engine when it stops at
the Lake Shore Railway Association in Wellington in northeast Ohio this
week and at the Ohio statehouse in Columbus the next week.
The
visits are intended to help raise funds for completion of the Lincoln
Funeral Car that will travel with the locomotive in 2015 to commemorate
the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s assassination. The re-created funeral
train will pass through Ohio and six other states.
