I am posting this for Charles Roth, who called our museum last weekend with this request for information:
Does anyone know how to get in touch with the Lincoln Train Project, concerned with the history of President Lincoln's funeral train? A person we think is connected with the project is Wayne E. Wesolowski (sp?).
More specifically, Mr. Roth is interested in learning more about a train car which is being restored in a railroad museum near him in Wisconsin. The car has a manufacture date stamp of 'November 1864', is numbered 'Coach No. 112', and was made by Osgood Bradley Co. The coach ran on the 'E Jordan & Southern' line, one of the Michigan lines.
Mr. Roth would like to know how he can find out if this train car was part of Lincoln's funeral train.
You are welcome to call Mr. Roth directly, at 715-834-8125 Or respond to the list, either one is fine. Any 'leads' and info welcome. Thanks!

Christen,
Dr. Wayne Wesolowski can be reached at 630-829-6537, his office at Illinois Benedictine College. Dr. Wesolowski teaches chemistry and in the summer researches and works on the Lincoln Train Project. We hosted the train here in Matteson earlier this year and, I believe, it will be touring the Washington, D.C. area this fall. He's the expert.
I will also drop a copy of your e-mail into the regular mail for him.
