Thank you for sharing your video. I don't know why, I expected to see some animals. I guess that would not be very safe for them, huh?

my grandson and I enjoyed watching this video and counting the cars and chatting about everything that goes into putting on a circus.  I love the circus but never saw the train.  My great great Uncle Charles drove a circus carriage for many years until he began driving horse drawn street cars for the PTC.  He died in 1947 at the age of 107.  for his 100th birthday his kids gave him a miniature circus wagon and his picture was in the paper holding it.  The circus has come a long way since Uncle Charles was a teamster.

I stayed up all night till 7:30am to get this video!  The Train was 6 and a half hours late, and was due to pass Ridley Park at 2am.  Sad to report, the same Lead Engine is the same one that struck the car in Newark Del. a week later. (no one was injured in that accident)
