I knew the the exact locations were these trains were filmed at when I first viewed this video. Haven't lived in Los Angeles in 10 years, it was very cool to see and brings back a lot of train watching memeories. Especially one memory I do have is watching the circus train moving very slowy pre-Alameda Corridor on Alameda St and Nadeau St.. back when it was a 5 track crossing on street surface.

@27thCrown this area changed a lot. Since Alameda Corridor opened, Santa Fe/BNSF stop running through the Harbor sub and SP is gone and you see couple of UP locals along the Metro Light Rail Line everyday.

I'm a little disappointed. I always thought a giraffe head would be sticking out or some clowns would be waving to the pedestrians. Such a bummer!

@Chrystal10397 Subway? oh, just like subway in NYC? They pays UP to run this train in California.

I always thought that the ringling bros. train was like a subway. I didn't know it looked like this. When i say a subway, i mean a silver train. I didn't know it used UP locomotives.
