I am advised that this unloading scene is reportedly Madison, WI [unverified], about 1898; some have it as 1901.

In order, #56 steam calliope, Cleopatra Barge, Cinderella float, double hippo den #55.

THese are the most massive runs I have ever seen.
Now if this Hagenbeck-Wallace 1930 to 1934 with those heavy loaded wagons with those massive steel tired wheels I can see runs like these but those small wagons with those skinny tired wheels.
What on this show was that heavy to need those kind of runs.
