Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth #1


Shannon tells me that March was the biggest month yet for the Blog's growth. I think on Sundays' I will run back items so some of the newcomers can catch up.
Loading up for the trans-Atlantic voyage and the 5 year grand European tour (1898-02).

I'm sure they did since no two countries in Europe had the same gague tracks at the time.

I heard it rotted down in Brideport.
It was customed made by the Pennsylvania Railroad company to transport Jumbo back in the 1880's.
