Ringling' Circus Train in Hamilton, Ontario 1988 .....?
Author: rbx551985

Does anyone have photos of the RBBB Red Unit Circus Train on its visit to and from Hamilton, Ontario in late 1988?  I was on that train and remember being woken up on the morning after we left (to go back to the 'States) by a powerful ROAR outside the train -- we were right beside Niagara Falls on the old line which ran down the sidewalk of that town (that line no longer operates, but I'm told was "moved" to go around the congested, downtown area).

A friend on Facebook was the show's Purchasing Agent and took videos of that event, but I don't know how to upload FB videos to Trainorders.com to share it (he gave permission).

I also remember we had a light-orange TH&B caboose going into Canada a week before.........

No tracks have been "moved", but the old CASO was ripped out (the line you speak of).
