Encapsulated in plastic and affixed to a descriptive mount, double-matted to an overall size of 11 x 14. Flags were made locally for the train's stops while on its journey from Washington to Springfield, Illinois. It arrived in Indianapolis at 7:00 AM on April 30, 1865, and departed at midnight. Following the departure, the flags were given to prominent Indianapolis families.
