Cole Bros. Circus 1945/ Train wreck #1


We had two train wrecks while we on the show, the first was in 1945 while approaching Brainerd, Minn. Cecil B. DeMille couldn't have done a better job. No idea what caused this one but fortunately the wreckage was confined to the equipment section of the flat cars, no stock cars, coaches or large animal dens were involved. The three people at the immediate left are Justino Loyal, Paul Nelson and Cap Curtis. Buckles

What happened to the Cole bros. Circus after the Train wreck? What type of impact did this train wreck have on the Cole Bros Circus? Do you think this could have been setup by rival circus?
