March 23, 2009 - here at Woodside on the LIRR Main Line we see 2 LIRR MP15AC locomotives (161 & 165) coupled elephant-style (how apropos) pull together a whole set of cars comprising the Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey circus train heading West. The circus was moving from the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY to Madison Square Garden.

  • Two switchers, that must have been a long ride.

  • @kjrehberg From Hempstead to Manhattan with that many cars? It can feel like a death march!

  • Those two engines are TOUGH!!

  • That they are - that's how EMD used to build engines - unlike the garbage LIRR ended up buying in the late 1990s ;)

  • @diapermanful Somehow trainers whipping and abusing poor elephants (like that behind the ear thing) who are 'forced' to perform seems more inhumane than how humans treat other humans. If an elephant acts up, he ultimately gets shot. if a sweatshop worker acts up, well, that's quite different. Guess I'm one of 'those' who care more for imprisoned animals than abused 'third world' workers...

  • @musicom67 I'll think about that next time I buy a pair of brand name sneakers or clothing that was made in a third world sweatshop where workers get paid pennies a day and work in conditions that would make your hair stand.

  • @diapermanful Guess you haven't seen the 'behind the scenes at the Circus' videos. Ever see how they train the elephants? I don't think you really want to know....

  • @chessbuff I bet those animals are cared for better than many humans are.....

  • tht was a madd long train

  • how stupid and inept are you? we look at the animals! we dont kill them or eat them!

  • this is a cruel show, man. animals suffer for our entertainment.

  • Exactly!!!
