Is this a photo of Abraham Lincoln taking the train during the Civil War?
http://www.rrsociety.org/Meeting.html - see figure in center at Hanover Junction
During the Civil War, Hanover Junction was the connection between the Hanover Branch Railroad — a local Pennsylvania carrier — and the Northern Central Railroad, which extended northward from Baltimore up the Susquehanna River Valley into central Pennsylvania. The Hanover Branch Railroad connected with another short line passing through the small Pennsylvania town of Gettysburg.
