Wow, i grew up age 8- 16 in that town, i crossed those tracks every day by foot or bike, wow what a flash back ! I live in austin tx now, thanx for that .
So miss the train and parade. Lived in Milwaukee til 1972. Remember seeing the train and parade more than once. I did notice no steam calliope. I remember it playing as the train went through town.
@@mikeingersoll7344 very common today. Whenever a steam engine travels on a main line, it may be required by the owners of the line to have a diesel back up. This is true of even big boy.
WOW! ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WE WILL PROBABLY NEVER SEE AGAIN. I saw the train up close and personal when it visited Elkhorn Wisconsin perhaps that same year, or possibly the time before that. I believe it was the early 90's. Saw the parade in Milwaukee around 1994 ish
So sad to here Ernest Borgnine Pass away yesterday. He played a clown in the Circus World Museum parade in Milwaukee Wisconsin from 1972 to 2002. He brought his movie star power to the parade. He said it was one of his favorite things to be in the parade and love clowning around. He will truly be missed.
This Train comes from the Circus World Museum and it is headed to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a Circus Parade. These Wagons are the real deal that were used in the time Circuses traveled from town to town. The animals were truck in for safety and economics. I would say this was a working circus train because they were going to a job. This Parade is something to see with plenty of animals. Thanks for checking it out.
This is the picture that I was looking for. My grandfather worked for Fulmer Brothers Transfer, in Baraboo, when I was a kid. He died when I was 7, so this would probably have happened about 1959. I remember him taking me through some of the buildings where Ringling Bros had housed the elephants. At the time, the Circus World Museum was just starting to put things together and the old elephant barns were used by Fulmer Transfer as a garage for their trucks. The crystal clear memory that I carry with me at age 70, was that he showed me the beams up under the roof and explained that they had to pound spikes through boards and then nail the boards onto the beams (spikes pointing out) because they had a couple of elephants who had made it thier mission in life to get ahold of the beams and try to take them out! Now I realize, like bored kids and grandkids, the poor elephants were bored silly!😢 So many negative things have been rained on the circus and it's treatment of animals and performers, but it is a part of our history and stirs vivid memories for many of us. Periodically, while we were still living in Wisconsin, we'd see the steam train pulling the Circus Train to Milwaukee for the 4th of July Parade and it always brought fond memories!
That would have been so great to watch the circus train go through my town! Read many stories about that same thing. A piece of Americana, right here! Thanks.
If there was a circus, i would name it "The Most Random Show On Earth"! It would use random objects (Ps4's,Comic Books,etc). It would then turn them alive and literally do random stuff.
How Fun! Wow, 17 flatbeds, nearly everyone carrying four wagons! In Dumbo only 2 wagons are seen on each flatbed, and there are only 3 or 4 flatbeds. (though other wagons that weren't on the train appear in other places in the movie.) When was this footage taken?
1:32 That circus Wagon "Golden Age of Chivalry" why there isn't the Dragon's heads, wings or tail when it's on the train, is it due to Clearance problems?
was that an actual working circus or is it just a preserved example of one?? i didnt see any animals or anything so i'm assuming it wasnt a real one...
Thank for sharing this moment with us. I didn't have knowledge of that fantastic, historical train. By the way your car is very quiet. Which model is it?
@Landotom I literally hang with clowns! My husband and some of his longtime friends were Ringling Brothers clowns. One of our newer friends is a clown and son and grandson of some former Ringling employees.
I miss times like this when watching the train come through town was great excitement.😁
It was cool to see Soo Line 1003 pulling this train.

Yes but why is there a diesel coupled to that steamer?

Soo Line 1003 (Built by American Locomotive Company in March 1913) pulling a Circus Train through Richfield, Wisconsin.
Wow, i haven't seen the Circus Train in 20+ years after they stopped coming up to the Fox Cities, this video sure brought back some good memories.
The circus is no more. After 143 years it closed for good
chaosdemonwolf1 Bummer ): at least i'll have that memory alive in the back of my brain somewhere.
Glad to take you back in time medinar1978. Thanks for watching.
I never saw a circus train but I know a few people who lived on them back in the 70's.
i remember when i was a kid it would stop in Stoughton, Wisconsin. wow i miss that train...
No problem sharing. Thanks for commenting. Trains are cool.
Too bad the circus train to Oshkosh was cancelled the last two years. At least this video will keep it remembered. Thanx fur sharin'! 5 thumbs up!
But a Restoration Special! will Help!
At least Soo Line 1003 did amazing on this trip of pulling the Circus World Museum Train.

I loved the steam engine, really gave it the "old time" feel !

Great post! I see these wagons every year in baraboo, but have not seen them loaded on the trains. Thanx!

I would also like to see Soo Line 1003 in operation for myself.

Especially with their amazing Soo Line 1003.
Just saw uncle Jed and Mary sue in the video. May they Rest In Peace

In 2019 Dumbo flat cars have a 3 wagons.

ALL ABOOOOOOOOOOOOARD!!! LET'S GO!!! Chugga Chugga Chugga.
where was it going to? Illinois?
Milwaukee for the big 4th of July Parade.
was that an actual working circus or is it just a preserved example of one?? i didnt see any animals or anything so i'm assuming it wasnt a real one...
Any idea what year this is from?
2009 Most Likely.
I was on board. Since it was so hard to move around I spent most of the trip in the red observation car.
Good story thanks for sharing
Baraboo is on the wicket so 10003 pulled the train on the wicket when
I'm in 2020 😭

Is this the Ringling brothers train?
The Circus World Museum Train. There are some Ringling brothers wagons
Is it ok if i borrow some clips?

That’s actually Soo Line 1003 (Built by American Locomotive Company in March 1913).
