The North Carolina Transportation Museum prepares for a large Civil War event which includes reenactors, living history, speakers and cannon fire. A big part of the weekend will include the replica Lincoln Funeral Train. The train is a full- size replica of the train that carried the remains of President Abraham Lincoln from Washington, D.C., to Springfield, Illinois, in May of 1865.
