Like Buckles has said, Beatty got a lot of circus on 15 cars.

In 1965 the entire Ringling Show

preFeld travelled on 17 rail cars

At the end both trains had 60

What is the real fate of the 120 cars? Is it true from what we hear that the Felds have actually done away with them all?

Got the impression most were sold where they were parked at the last show stop. Some of 5ge cars are at a park west of Ocala, I remember reading some others being sold, but don't remember where .

Strangely enough that park

has some religious bent &

of a very different cloth

I believe those were bought

Another car was "donated"

to the retirement trailer

park in Seffner

I believe a large number

of them were sold as scrap

If only some of the older

cars could tell stories
