Tito traveled the former Yugoslavia
in his "blue train" promoting his program of Brotherhood
and Unity city by city. The people would mass along the tracks or
at the train stations to greet him and shake his hand. When he died,
his coffin was placed on his train which then traveled throughout
Yugoslavia passing crowds of mourners who lined the tracks and waited
in train stations decorated with his portrait and sombre banners.(credit:
