The Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus train passing in the rain. Chicago Illinois USA. Wednsday October 18th 2006.

Seen here heading east alongside West Kinzie Street, is the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus Train arriving in the city of Chicago Illinois, via the Union Pacific Railroad. It was a soggy day, but still a great experience to be there on location with a camera when the Circus comes to town. I had no idea that they would be travelling by the former Chicago & North Western rail line that passes My place of employment. I had just got off of work for the day too. Notice the "Outside Lights" on some of the passenger cars. I presume it is so the travelling performers can see the landscape out of the windows when traveling at night.
