Immediately after delivering his victory speech for the California Democratic Primary, Robert F. Kennedy was shot and killed in the Ambassador Hotel on June 5th, 1968.

Following a funeral in New York, Kennedy's casket took a trip by train on June 8th to its final resting place in Washington, D.C., with Northeast Corridor citizens of all kinds taking to the train tracks to pay their respects. 

As documented by LOOK magazine staff photographer Paul Fusco, here are 21 photos from RFK's funeral train, preserved in the Library of Congress.
