About Me
- Bob Cline
- 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.

I wonder if they might both be advance cars that just happened to land on the same siding at the same time?!?
Just do what we did this past Saturday, go see both of them !
I think this photo ran in an older issue of Bandwagon, with an explanation. If you examine the routes of the two shows you will likely determine why the cars crossed paths. There are other examples of multiple advance cars being forwarded in the same system train.
Don't know if this "took" on my first try so will risk repeating myself here. At my age that's nothing new.
I had just commented that the 1920 date means this was before both shows had the same owner. SF wasn't acquired until 1921, the same year the ACC incorporated.
