English Wagons arrive at CWM
With Robert Uehlein of the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Co. leading the charge, Chappie Fox made all the arrangements in Tiffield, England with the Sir Robert Fossett Cicus owners, Bailey Fossett and his sister Mary to have these wagons taken to the Circus World Museum. The four largest wagons all have telescoping upper units. They are magnificient in all their grandeur.
I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.

Apparently the CWM took two of their flatcars somewhere to pick these up. Did they arrive in the New York Harbor?
anywhere along the great lakes?
The flats were seen at Jones Island, part of the Port of Milwaukee operation, on the south side. That's where the crates arrived.
Only two telescoping wagons, not four.
