Attendees will experience a 1.2-mile, round-trip train excursion through the center of Stone Gables Estate on the railroad, traversing the original 1838 railroad bed on which President Abraham Lincoln's funeral train traveled on April 22, 1865. The train features a replica of an 1868 steam locomotive, pulling replicas of an 1848 Pioneer Coach and a replica of the 1865 presidential private car.
