Senator Robert Kennedy Memorial : The Final Journey

 Robert F. Kennedy, brother of President John F. Kennedy, former attorney general, senator and presidential candidate, was shot on June 5, 1968, and died the next morning.  The funeral Mass for Senator Kennedy took place at St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York City, Saturday, June 8, 1968.
The remains were then transported upon a slow-moving train to Washington, D.C., via Newark and Trenton, N.J.; Philadelphia, Pa.; and Baltimore, Md. The railway system stopped all northbound traffic between Washington, D.C., and New York, and many people gathered along the route to pay tribute to Senator Kennedy.
