The Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey circus still moves from city-to-city by rail. It is by far the most efficient way to move such a large operation. The circus actually has two shows running somewhere in the United States at any one time. As a result, the circus actually has two complete train sets. One is referred to as the "Red Train" and one is referred to as the "Blue Train". This is the Blue Train, and an example coach car on it. Performers essentially live on the train through the 11 month tour season.
