Video on Robert F. Kennedy’s Funeral Train

Posted on May 6, 2009 by admin

On the 40th anniversary of the passage of RFK’s Funeral train down the northeast corridor, through Cecil County, we posted a piece on some recollections of that sad day as many Cecil Countains stood along the tracks to honor the fallen leader.  A few days ago, a documentary producer reported that they are looking for people that were there that summer day.   That caused us to go over to You Tube where there’s a video showing some of the scenes on that day in 1968 and we thought readers of this blog might enjoy seeing this excellent piece of video work.
