Photo ID: 106097 Date Shot Photo By Monday, June 13, 2016 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS012 (East Leyden) Arvada, CO 1473 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific, Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey For the first time in over 10 years, the Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus train ran over the Rio Grande between Denver and Salt Lake City. It last ran this way in 2005, before being routed over the Overland. However, the retirement of the elephants from the show last year apparently alleviated concerns over running through the Moffat Tunnel. As a result, we have this picture here! The Circus Train knocks down a clear signal at the east end of Leyden. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The UP steam guys did a fantastic job getting her ready to hit the rails again. The engine is leading the greatest show on earth (the circus train) and is about to pass underneath E-470 south of Brighton.

UP coordinated with Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus to have UP 3985 lead the circus train south on the Greeley Sub. UP 3985 leading a 63-car passenger train (okay, some freight mixed in...but still). What a site! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The Ringling Brothers circus train is just shy of a mile in length. The train carries all the performers, all the animals and all the equipment for the show from city to city. Here, the train is just passing through Denver as it runs from Colorado Springs to Las Vegas, NV (via Cheyenne and Salt Lake City).

After several years, I finally got the chance to shoot Ringling Brothers mile-long circus train. This is the "Red Train", one of two trains the circus operates. The other one being the "Blue Train". This train tends to do more shows west of the Mississippi and the Blue Train is usually east of the Mississippi. The circus hauls all of its own equipment, so everything for the shows is kept in these containers! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
