Does Bachmann or any other company make a replica of the Lincoln Funeral Train?
and
Bachmann has a model of the "Jupiter" steam engine.
Does it have any passenger cars to go with it?

Bachmann does not make a replica of the Lincoln Funeral train in any scale. The funeral car that carried the casket is produced, but it usually sells in the area of $150. Check the thread on the forum that talks extensively about the HO model of the car.

Bachmann has a model of the "Jupiter" steam engine. Does it have any passenger cars to go with it?

Bachmann until very recently made Central Pacific passenger cars for its N scale Jupiter 4-4-0 American locomotive. For HO scale Bachmann did make old-time passenger cars lettered for CP, but they have been out of production for a long time and are pretty hard to find in new/good condition (at least that has been my experience)

Thanks for the info.
On what page is that thread?
There is no way I am going through 169 pages to look for it.

Here is an HO model that was made by Pocher and imported by Associated Hobby Manufacturers (more commonly known just as AHM). Some have sold for as high as $200.

Here's all the threads about the car/train: http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/board/index.php?action=search2

Here is what appears to be the same car but for a lot less than $200.  I have no idea if the locomotive with it is appropriate, but if not, you could just toss it out.

The locomotive is from AHM and is supposedly the engine Casey Jones was operating the night of his famous (infamous) crash. The real one was manufactured long after President Lincoln was buried.  If I recall, the engine was also available as a non operating display model in kit form.

The Rivarossi IC 4-6-0 was offered as an O-scale static model.  A motorizing kit was available separately.  A couple of other engines were also offered including the IHB 0-8-0 and (I think) a FM C-Liner.  The motorizing kits were for 2-rail DC.  I never bought one of these, but I remember seeing them in hobby shops for several years.  The box art was cool, probably why I remember them.  Time frame must be late 60's or early 70's.

Oi. Those cars can show up anywhere on eBay!

The HO version was offered RTR in two slightly different paint schemes, one as shown in the link in Jim's post, one with a gray smokebox and some white striping on the cab that was called the "Commemorative" version. I've had one like the one shown since I was a kid back in the 1970s. Darn thing has quit running on me, though. 

I also remember seeing the Virginia & Truckee 4-4-0 "Genoa" in O-scale kit form.

I thank Old Timer for jogging my memory. I recall someone who had the Harbor Belt 0-8-0 built with the repowering kit. The motor was from their HO line and the engine was badly underpowered. 35 years ago O scale cars weighed a ton and needed a hefty engine to pull them. They were nice models for static display.

I wish I had bought the static engines when I had the chance. Today they are "rare" and "vintage" on Ebay.

There is also a nifty little drover's caboose that matches the passenger cars. (Essentially it's the 34-ft. combine with a caboose roof with cupola on top.)

I don't recall seeing one for the CP of California, atleast the one they have on thier site is not painted like the coaches.

Maybe the drover's caboose is already out of production. I picked one up at the shop at the Strasburg Rail Road (not to be confused with the shop down the road by the Choo-Choo Barn) some time last year. It has the same paint and lettering scheme as the Overland car in your photo.
