That train isn't unusual though. Ringling Bros has two unit trains (red and blue) that transport all their animals, equipment and crews across the country to wherever the show is located for that week.Also, the James E Strates shows uses a train to take carnival equipment from town to town.. I saw them in Gaithersburg, MD during the fair in Aug a few years back.. It looks like there will be in Middletown, NY starting the 18th of July Canon 1D Mark II
