I don't know much about animal abuse at the circus but to me a circus has animals. Lion tamers and all that. I've been to the RBBB once when I was a kid and the Clyde Beatty when I was even younger and they both had animals. That is what I expect at a circus, but that's just me. I do recall when they marched the elephants though the Midtown? tunnel when they put the train in the Sunnyside yards. I would have like to have seen that!
zugmann 54light15 The article did say that they would no longer have animals in the show. What's a circus without elephants and lions? Not much of a circus, I'd say. Before Covid, Cirque du Soleil was doing extremely well while the RBBB was dead. So I guess to answer that question - a curcus without animal abuse was successful?

I seem to recall that Cirque du Soleil has had several performer deaths, so I guess humans are animals that can be abused.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!

It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.
The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer, any other railroad, company, or person.t fun any

pennytrainsCool! Kids should be able to see the circus once a year like I did!
At least until the "animal rights activists" get done...
One group is trying to get an elephant recognized as a person...

Same me, different spelling!
Anyway, it's good news
It'd have to be trucks, most likely in convoy. They've sold off all the rail equipment.
Unless the trucks and/or equipment containers are loaded on flatcars and passenger railcars are rented or leased as needed.
I read in the paper today about how Ringling Brothers is coming back. I wonder, are they going back on the rail or only using trucks this time. They've eliminated the animals so I would guess trucks only. Going to be like Cirque de Soleil, I suppose.
