Ringling Bros. made jumps from Albany,NY to Schenectady,NY - 10 miles in the 60's. Bill Galloway,Rochester,NY

Ringling used to play two different lots in Detroit, packed everything up and loaded it on the train. I don't have one of those route cards in front of me, but was thinking it was only 5 miles or so.
