RB&BB circus train

Greetings,

Monday afternoon on a rainy day, the Ringling Bros. & Barnum Bailey circus train passed through Anderson Indiana. I was fortunate
enough to capture a few photos of it. Any modelers interested in the modern train?

Great pictures Roger it is hard to believe after all these years the circus train still runs

They still run, but they don't look much like the trains of the 40s and 50s. :-(

I can say that this was as long a passenger type train that I have ever seen. It went on forever.

Ahhh, the "Red Troop"! They actually have two trainsets, one red, one blue for their two traveling troops Red and Blue. Moving a show the size of RB&BB, train is the only way to go. Think abpout the fuel cost of moving this show by truck! They'ed go Bankrupt! I think it was the Blue Troop that rolled through Baton Rouge, LA. when I lived down there. I missed it because I had to work that day! http://www.trainboard.com/mad.gif
