The first was sort of a victory tour after he was elected in 1860. He traveled by train from Springfield, Illinois thru Chicago and Cleveland and on to Buffalo. Along the way the train stopped in Westfield and in Dunkirk where Lincoln made a few remarks to thousands of people who turned out. Then the train arrived at Buffalo’s Exchange Street station in February, 1861 where it was met by tens of thousands of people.
