A Barnum and Bailey World


Two days ago we were surprised to see a train pass by that was composed entirely of cars belonging to the circus. We've since learned that it was one of several Ringling Brothers trains that transport the equipment, personnel and animals all around the country. The trains are over a mile long and are known as the "Town Without a Zip Code" - logging more than 25,000 miles a year.
