EVERYONE: GET YOUR PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF THIS RUN as it is THE LAST Red Unit train-run WITH PEOPLE ABOARD; after this one, all we will see is an empty coach-set with electrical power cut off for the "home-run" to Florida, which is basically a "funeral train" or "ghost train" from Providence R.I. to [somewhere in] Florida. After that, the entire Ringling' show, and its (Inter-) National Legacy, will nothing by a memory. 2017 Red Unit Circus Train: ---54 Cars (34 conventional passenger-type cars; 17 TTX-[type] piggyback flats; 2 Container Flats; 1 five-part articulated flat) ---4,370 Tons (when fully loaded) ---5,320 Feet (WITHOUT host RR's power attached; 1 mile = 5,280 feet) RED UNIT -- 145th Edition -- "CIRCUS XTREME" -- on its extended tour.
