Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus train New Hampshire

[Great Western Rwy fan]

Ringling Brothers circus is in Manchester New Hampshire this week,Does anyone know on what day and time they will depart? I hope to photograph the entire train when they do.Also where would I find a good location where I will be able to see the whole train?

The circus is running through Sunday.  Normal practice is to start loading right after the final show is completed.  Departure time depends on how quickly the train is loaded and when PanAm/Guilford is ready to move them.  Presumably this will be Monday morning.  It is then headed to Bridgeport, CT, for the next show.  Routing should be Manchester via Nashua,NH, and N. Chelmsford, MA, and then to Ayer and Worcester, MA, via Guilford/PanAm.  CSX would move the train Worcester to Springfield, MA, and then south to New Haven, CT.  The final leg of the trip to Bridgeport would be over Amtrak's NE Corridor Shore Line.
