Eastbound Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus train. Chicago Illinois USA. Wednsday, October 18th 2006.

Seen here is the Anual visit of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus arriving in the city of Chicago Illinois. The train is seen passing the railroad crossing on North Kilbourn Avenue on Chicago's Westside. The train is traveling over the Union Pacific Railroad's former Chicago & North Western west line. The sight of the Circus train coming to town on such a rainy and overcast Autum day in Chicago, was definately a bright spot for this amature railfan photographer. It was most definately one of those rare Right Time/ Right Place situations.
