Here's the show train in 1908 in Horton, Kansas - from the Jim McRoberts collection - notice the different styles of flatcars being used.

The McRoberts photos were taken by Jules Borquin. The negatives are at the Kansas Historical Society. Many were used with an article in White Tops some years ago.
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.
