Lima is being loaded into the show's trailer on the off ramp from the expressway .

This is a Featherlite goose-necked trailer. It hooks into an attachment in the bed of the pick-up type truck which pulls it.

Beginning around 2002, RBBB began moving its lead stock (zebras, camels, alpacas, etc.) in these Featherlites, instead of transporting them on the train. The 2000 Red Unit was the last time zebras came to Atlanta riding the train.

I saw the 3 PM show this past Saturday (20th). The zebra liberty act had four animals. They worked in pairs and I suppose Lima would have been in a third pair (making 6 altogether). Since Lima was missing, the 6th zebra did not work either.
