This really brought tears to my eyes im from Winston-Salem NC and our fair was the Dixie Classic Fair this was our fair James E Strates Shows i remember all those rides on this train 💙 💙 💙
I remember seeing James Strates Shows in Warren, OH in the 1970s. I was very young, but remember seeing the train and the show with the big top set up.
Awesome, so wonder if the train was coming or going to Gaithersburg, MD? I know they used to do a spring date here in Gaithersburg, MD around Memorial day every may from the 80's-2006 , if it was, guess it means they had one heck of a midway in there

A lot of these rides, are no longer seen at the fairs today, very sad.
Glad to see this train is on the go!
Some of the rides shown on this 1988 video are still on the current train..but in definitely better shape.
My favorite midway takes me back to the early 70's.

Another cool video!
Love the radio chatter from 1218 in the background!
Anybody see one of the pieces of the round up swinging out? Oppsies
I worked with the James E Strates Show
Though they still keep the train running for the fair. So I'm ok.
