Norfolk Southern Croxton local H81 was charged with delivering the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey "Red Unit" circus train to the Meadowlands Sports complex. Power consisted of an ES40DC, SD70ACe, and a GP38-2.

Real nice job with the photos documenting this move. The last time I was able to photo the circus train's move to the Izod Center, the Meadowlands spur had not been built. Out of curiosity, what time of day did this move occur?

The reverse of this move should occur during the overnight as the circus leaves New Jersey for South Carolina. Any updates on the train's move to and from Croxton would be appreciated.
