The circus train is in Tampa Uceta Yard wintering. It will be there until the circus leaves town on Jan 8.

Not really viewable from any road, but if you drive up the access road to the engine house you will drive right next to it.

Not that I advocate such things.

Hmm....I wonder, will that train migrate north (towards Boston) after Jan 08, 2005?

Maybe CSX Conductor or anyone else may know.

Ringling Brothers comes to the Fleet Center in October every year. Perhaps go to http://www.ringling.com to see if it is coming to Worcester or Providence.

It was rumored this past year that this year was the last time Ringling Brothers would come to Boston, mainly due to expenses vs. low ticket sales, as well as increased animal rights activists protesting.

It might not even be the Ringling Brothers Circus that Nip is referring to.

One of the Ringling Bros. circus trains is parked on several sidings in the Orlando, FL area (about 3 miles S of the downtown area, off of Pineloch St.) [Go S on Orange Ave past Michigan St. and turn R at the Burger King].

Can't miss it!
