After waiting on a hold order for a considerable period of time, the dispatcher finally gave this Extra Movement known as the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus train -clearance to proceed. After recieving a green block signal, the train began the remainder of it's journey into the city of Chicago Illinois. The two Union Pacific Railroad freight service diesel locomotives, have just cleared the railroad crossing on North Kilbourn Avenue, and are taking the circus train into Metropolitan Chicago for the annual Circus visit. The Circus will play two venues, United Center (Formery the Chicago Stadium) and the Allstate Arena in suburban Rosemont Illinois.

This brings back memories of the circus train coming to Los Angeles and to Anaheim. It's a bit of the significant history of our country.
