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.
