Circus Train on the SP in Houston -- July 89
Author: gcm

The yearly circus train arrival for performances in Houston was in July but sometimes one of the train units would pass through headed to another city.
This was one of those times as the blue unit passed through town west to east on the SP, stopping at the Amtrak station long enough to feed and water the elephants.

Very interesting photos. Especially like those of the elephant car.
Unfortunately, I did not take many. I thought it would last forever.

I can't get over how bad looking the cars were back then.
