Where do they unload the train at? I believe it gets stored at Hawthorne for the duration of the shows, but that is a long way from downtown for the elephants to walk.

After the train is yarded at Hawthorne they take the animal cars downtown and unload them and then they are brought back(empty)to Hawthorne.Animals such as tigers and lions are transported by truck due to new federal regulations.

My wife works about 200 feet from the NS Water Level Route about 30 miles west of Cleveland. She said she saw the circus train go by on 9-12-06 at about 1700 hours.

How long has it been since any train used the s.e. quadrant connection at Crestline between the NS (PRR) and CSX (NYC)?? Will the crew change take place just east of Crest Tower, before moving on to the CSX line?
