The Red Show arrival! (From Richard Flint)


IMG_6816, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

Here is the Ringling red train of 58 cars near Annville, Pa, at 1:16
pm, about 10 miles from its Hershey destination. The CFA business
meeting was just commencing at this time but I was on a bridge
constructed in 1936 on a perfect day to get a great set of photos, two
of which i am sending along. Following the engine are the four
stocks, then 2 concession storage cars, plus 2 generator cars, pie car
coaches, 18 flats (sending a second photo showing elephant tubs on
flats), and the bi-level car at the end.
Buckles and Johnny, see you later this week!
