I remember train tracks on TV, hour upon hour, the next day. My favorite TV shows were preempted.

JFK's body went home via Air Force One.

I think it was five years later when Bobby's body did the cross country train ride.

Thanks for correcting me. Those are long-ago memories, and are kind of conflated in my mind, I suppose. They're kind of all in what might be called my "disaster folder" of childhood, which also includes a bunch of men standing on a hotel room balcony pointing at a point above them and and in the distance, an image of Bobby Kennedy looking at the ceiling, and the voice of Jim McKay saying "they're all gone."
