The Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus passing North Kilbourn Avenue. Chicago Illinois USA. Wednsday October 18th 2006.
I took this photograph after work at the intersection of North Kilbourn Avenue and West Kinzie Street looking east. This is an example of the many pieces of Containers -and Support equipment that rides on the rear of the circus train. There were several Ex Piggyback flatcars being used by the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus to haul -Support Vechicles -Electrical Generators , and various Transporting Storage Containers. This was at approximately 4:50 PM Central Time. I had just left work that day, and My company is right behind Me on the corner here. This was definately a Right Place/ Right Time situation for a man carrying a camera to work with him. Although it was a gloomy day with cold temperatures and periods of rain, The Circus train definately added a spot of sunshine to My day.
