They have a yard and maintenance facitlity in Florida, though not sure of the location. It is large enough to hold both trains.

The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is coming to Port Manatee.  Port Manatee is the their holiday port of call when their live-aboard train parks on a mile of track alongside U.S. 41.The tracks are adjacent to the Manatee County Jail and just commuting distance from the circus' new headquarters in Palmetto.

red and blue units have different locations for "winter quarters" as we call the off season. one is in Orlando the other is in tampa. doing the off season the crew does referb. Blue unit was in tampa and we did hAlf of our referb at the Tampa state fairgrounds and the other half at FES ( Feld Entertainment studios)
there is not space at Feld born even one of the trains let along both. there is a referb facility there for cars, the old stocks and some old coachcars but red and blue are not ever at Feld for winter quarters.
