I came across a few of these photos a couple of weeks ago and was instantly fascinated. Not only because I had never seen or even heard of them before and they are quite interesting, but because they made me feel a little sad. It seems that people from all walks of life made their way to the train tracks in their part of the country to wave goodbye to Robert Kennedy. I can't help but wonder if he would have gotten the same tribute today.

Anyway, I made a point of collecting as many of these images as I could. When I can, I would like to purchase the book:
