What do you know about this picture?


Hard to say. Either Beatty-Wallace or Beatty-Russell?

Buckles:

This came to me marked "1948" and I believe that's correct. The unit originated on Russell Bros but was loaded on the flats as you see it here after the show went on rails and I believe until the Sparks equipment was added for the 1949 season.

Dave,
I think that you are right, I saw the show in 1947 and I know that there were still semi's on the train. Unlike Roger, I was 9 years old then, but it seems like yesterday.
