Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus Train at Hershey

May 24, 2010 and May 31, 2010: witness it all! The RBBB Circus Train unloads its cargo and load the animals as well as run-by's on both of these dates, elephants, clowns, trains, a whole lotta fun!

On the afternoon of May 24, we first see the passenger section of the train on its way to be stored in Harrisburg during the shows. We catch it just east of the Tara signals in Hummelstown. Power is:

NS ES40DC 7677
NS ES40DC 7674

The other part of the train with all the containers and equipment was back at the Derry Road crossing in Hershey. Here, they unload the containers and line them along the street before they are trucked over the Giant Center. We caught them unloading for awhile as well as a passing 14G. Unfortunately, they had already unloaded the animals before I got there, so we came back on Memorial Day after chasing H2W and the OCS and caught the reloading of the animals and the elephant march. NS put new power on the animal cars and ran it push-pull between Harrisburg Termindal and Hershey. After it was loaded, we then catch it on the west side of the Tara signals. Power is:

NS SD70M-2 2759
NS D9-40CW 9585

Circus train symbols were 047.
