Ringling History
Ringling made Circus History today when a steam engine pulled the Ringling train for the first time since 1955. The video is already on you tube. Thanks to Richard Reynolds III for the history and the heads up.
Bob, WOW, thanks a million Bob and what a way to start the day off. Looks like no tight loading like they used to in the old days. And poles to the engine and ready for unloading in Denver. Harry in Texas
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.

WOW! Two of my favorite "blasts from the past" (Steam Locomotives and Circus Trains). The only thing better would have been to be there for the ride!
