Not being one to let a thread drift off alone and forgotten, I'll add
to it the following from the Magnum site, picked up a few minutes ago
from their Twitter feed:

"On June 5th, 1968, Robert Kennedy was assassinated in Los Angeles as
he campaigned for the presidential nomination. Kennedy's body was
flown to New York City for a memorial service at St. Patrick?s
Cathedral and then carried by train from New York to Washington D.C.
for burial at Arlington National Cemetery. Hundreds of thousands of
mourners lined the railway tracks to pay their final respects to
Kennedy. On board the train was Magnum photographer Paul Fusco, on
assignment for LOOK Magazine. From inside the train, Fusco took some
2000 pictures of the mourners - black, white, rich, poor, in large
groups and on their own. The resulting images are one of the most
powerful and affecting series of photographs ever taken. This
commemorative edition of 20 images was printed in 2008 on the occasion
of the 40th anniversary of Kennedy?s assassination."

That would be 2000 images shot in how many hours it took the train to
make that journey?  4 or 5?  Edited down to 20.
