Description

This is a reproduced photo print of President Lincoln's train which features the W.H. Whiton engine and the President's personal rail car. The W.H. Whiton was built in Alexandria
Virginia

The car shown was designed to transport the President and his cabinet. It was one of the most elaborately appointed railroad vehicles ever made. It had upholstered walls, etched-glass windows, 16 wheels (adaptable to both standard and five-foot-gauge tracks) was designed to withstand an explosion and gunfire.
