Too bad Strates is such a rag bag show.

That maybe, but as rolling stock, it's pretty funny.

Great video! I've been to carnivals where Strates had the midway and liked their carnival. It was great to see the rides all racked and on the move on the train. Thank you!

Thanks for the comment dccradio, next time it comes by in the daylight I'll try another shot at it. First time I saw this was at night, it seemed pretty surreal. )3

Not sure what this is based on but this show has a 75 year plus history and is still provides one of the greatest and safest traveling show in the US with dates they have played for over a half century that have contribluted to the growth of those dates they play. Just not sure what you saw that was "rag bag".

This show has endured for well over 75 years and still today generations welcome the show train and the fascination in watching it load and unload, something no other carnvial provides. Great too see and still exciting.
