RBBB Circus Train Moves Through
Information submitted by: C. Burchett

Monday, April 28th saw the appearance of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus train on the West Virginia Secondary. Upon leaving Hobson Yard after 10:00 a.m., the train, 046, moved north to Columbus where the circus will be playing next. The "Blue Unit," powered by C40-9 No. 8723 and C40-9W No. 8922, consisted of fifty-seven cars [contributor's note: I failed to count the cars during the "chase," so the car count is based on other reports].

Photos of the train passing through Glouster, Corning, and Rendville can be accessed by clicking here.
