Now days people hardly notice the Circus has come to town unless they are Railroad affectionados like Ed.
Unlike many former Railroad users who have fled to air carriers the Circus is so specialized and heavy travel by Rail is best.
Every car is designed for a different package. A lot of food product for annimals and performers must be loaded at each stop
Excellent quarters for the performers riding on excellent cushion trucks.

Equipment cars our animal quarters

Now the Circus is gone and forgotten...until next year. Thanx Ed for reminding us of the excitment when the Circus comes to town. Even in Houston.
