Received from a fellow CT follower.
Partial Excerpts from the Bradenton Herald – News Article – 21 August 2014

RBBB RUCT:
“PORT MANATEE - Acrobats, Clowns and other performers will make Manatee their holiday port of call when their live-aboard train parks on a mile of track alongside U.S. 41 just before Thanksgiving.

Starting Nov. 17, 2014 the circus will park up to 61 train cars on a railroad spur that is otherwise used for storing freight cars involved in transport operations to and from the Port.

The cars will occupy about 5,400 feet of track at the north end of the port near Harlee Road.

The Circus Train cars will be located outside of Port Manatee's security perimeter. However, Port Security staff will monitor the site to make sure its new circus clients remain safe.”

The article is also describes the Cost ($)of parking the CT’s and other interesting information associated with the CT tie-down area.

From what we have been told a rather good area for Photos, Videos and also Drone Videoing from U.S. Route 41 (South Tamiami Trail) as seen from various Internet Map sources.

The above article can be viewed on line in its entirety.

Maybe we will see a Photo or such from that area.
