Description
David Kloke is an ambitious man. After building a fully operational replica of Central Pacific's Leviathan, he continued by building not only another engine (Northern Central #17 for Steam Into History), but he also built a replica of the Lincoln Funeral Car. Both traveled around the eastern US, traveling to preservation railroads that rarely see steam. Both congregate in the town of Versailles, KY for a special Civil War event. I gotta say, the replica of the Lincoln Funeral Car was pretty cool, but Leviathan always puts on a good show.Related content

Amazing and impressive, and yet at the same time sad (after reading the description) knowing that was Abe Lincoln's funeral train, such a shame what happened to him I mean I'm apolitical and non-patriotic but I like Abe Lincoln as a person!

Indeed. What he did shaped history, and it was a shame that his life was taken from him so soon.
