Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus cars

Photographs of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus train in Worcester, MA. I got a handful of photos of the red train in 1983 when the train was parked in the Providence and Worcester Railroad yard. I stumbled upon the red train on the CSX rails as it was leaving the city in 2008. In 2008 the animal cars were at the head of the train. The train was pulled by at least 2 locomotives. There may have been 4 locomotives on the head end.

In 1983 the cars were marked with the railroad code RBX. In 2008 the marking was RBBX.
