    Another American Icon is gone forever but in the minds of many Americans seeing the circus as a child wil never be forgotten it truly was "The Greatest Show on Earth" Thank You for the memory's.

    There's still two circus trains left, the Circus World Museum train and the James E Carnival train.

    These folks traveled rail routes that haven't seen regular passenger service in decades and remote areas not accessible by automobile, since I enjoy the rails, would have been neat to travel one year with them through all these places before they closed for good. What little bit of passenger rail service is left out there, there is some neat places to see for sure!

    A Great Big thanks to the Feld Family for allowing my wife, son and me the opportunity to see North America traveling in a large Luxury motorhome while both my wife and I performed as musicians with the Gold Unit 2004-2006 of the Greatest Show on Earth!

      For regular mail, they have a touring address in Florida and from there it's brought to the nearest facility.
      For First Class or Priority; they know what area they are going to be at and have it shipped directly there.

    Tour from 1990-91 Blue unit! I loved living on the train. I was lucky as part of staff in the Kitchen/Pie car and had my own room. By that, I mean about a 7x3 room? Most people bunked or two to a room with an upper/down bunk. This would be considered trump estate in his "room"! Only the performers had these types of rooms. Not the clowns/show girls or most staff...

    I bet the baby elephants didn't get to cozy up with their moms at night after their long hard day getting beat with sticks and metal hooks. This was a large, colorful torture chamber for the animals who worked for the circus!
