Dear buckles,

Birthday bessings to you for peace and good health in the coming year.
And also for your entire family as well.
Also a million thanks for your blog that i receive each morning. A lot of work involved but your blog brings back a lot of memories such as this photo from Ringling.
Next Monday, March 5th, I will be celebrating my 75th birthday. I waas a surprise for my Mothewr Mary Ann jackson by coming two months earler than planned.
Thanks to my Dad who took us to the Ringling Circus at Boston garden in early may after the engagement at the garden in New York City.
The seed was planted and I have a deep appreciation of all those in the Circus, clowns, performers, workers etc. Bringing Enjoyment to Children of all ages. Thanks for your blog and bringing back those enjoyable memories.

I heard a mention just last week

that they both might be at about

60 cars in length but not sure

Hey Chic,

Red show is currently
4 stocks, 34 coaches (including pie car, 2 generator cars and a shop car), 2 container flats (FCP nee Sells-Floto Stock), 18 flats+ 1 bi-level.

They also have 6 trucks for props, sound and lights, 7 semis for animals and 1 featherlite horse trailer for hoof stock.

Thanks Mark so it seems that in

my advanced mathematical ability

with all the addition we have 61

With an average length of about

76 feet plus couplers that would

end up at roughly 9/10 of a mile

& that's not including power

Sorry folks it seems in haste I

missed (including) so that would

make it only 59 cars in length
