New Jersey:
At 5:30am on Monday, April 24, the train passed through Trenton, the only state capital at which it did not stop.
According to Journalist Josiah Holland: "It seemed as if the whole state had come to the railroad line simply to witness the passage of the funeral train."
The train arrived in Jersey City at 10:00am, where the station clock had been stopped at 7:20am, the approximate time of Lincoln's death. The coffin was removed from the car and ferried across the Hudson River to New York. |
