Circus Train - going through Richfield, Wisconsin

[Landotom]

This Train comes from the Circus World Museum and it is headed to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a Circus Parade. These Wagons are the real deal that were used in the time Circuses traveled from town to town. The animals were truck in for safety and economics. I would say this was a working circus train because they were going to a job. This Parade is something to see with plenty of animals. Thanks for checking it out.

was that an actual working circus or is it just a preserved example of one?? i didnt see any animals or anything so i'm assuming it wasnt a real one...

I never saw a circus train but I know a few people who lived on them back in the 70's.

@MissCat1958 Cool

@Landotom I literally hang with clowns! My husband and some of his longtime friends were Ringling Brothers clowns. One of our newer friends is a clown and son and grandson of some former Ringling employees.

How Fun!

Wow, 17 flatbeds, nearly everyone carrying four wagons! In Dumbo only 2 wagons are seen on each flatbed, and there are only 3 or 4 flatbeds. (though other wagons that weren't on the train appear in other places in the movie.)

When was this footage taken?

That was just super.

Now that's a circus train! Not like the plain looking RB & BB train that comes through my area twice per year!

[PeteyHoudini]

Totally cool!

[ShrinehillRail]

Great catch. The cars and wagons are just like the HO scale I have been collecting

The Circus world museum and North freedom steam museum it has been a long time,the steamer whating to be restored. CNW 1385 is the last steamer to pull the circus around the USA. The museum has been hit hard with poor planing and a flood all the steamers are out of service due to boiler issues.
