Murdoch is "Feld Code" for: Someday your number will be up, too.
I was at the CSX railyard, in Tampa, yesterday to watch the unloading and 3 mile animal walk to the FSF grounds. Also present were none other than Ken and Nicole and a film crew. They were filming some kind of a documentary.
It amazed me to see four animal cars, and the following was all that was loade in those four cars. 1st cars contained 12 horses. 2nd car contained 1 elephant(Karen), hay and grain and bunks for the grooms. 3rd car carried 2 elephants and the 4th car carried 4 elephants.
The Bi-level car carried two automobiles, only, on the top level, along with four cat shifting cages and an air compresser.
Three new coaches replaced three older ones. Long-time Blue Unit elephant man, Sonny Ridley was one of the occupants of a new coach, after living in his former compartment for fourteen years.
