  • The final Ringling Brothers And Barnum & Bailey Circus train to Cincinnati was filmed going through the Lambs Ferry Tunnel at Ryland Heights Kentucky on 3-7-17. The first shot is northbound through the tunnel. The second shot is a few miles north of the tunnels at Spring Lake Kentucky. The outro shows them going through the yard at Decoursey Ky and then over the huge trestle into Cincinnati Ohio crossing the Ohio River. Track maintenance held the train up for hours. I filmed the track maintenance equipment for another video. Thanks for watching! Please comment, rate and of course SUBSCRIBE TO JAWTOOTH!!

    Thank You very much Jaw Tooth. That was very generous of you. A lot of people, myself included, appreciate you efforts in capturing this very historic but sad moment. A 142 year tradition will be no more. Hope you didn't catch a cold from standing in the rain!

      I appreciate your comments. I didn't catch a cold but when I filmed the train leaving on March 20, it started raining even harder and I got soaked. Thanks for watching! Here is the video where I got soaked filming the circus train: ua-cam.com/video/JNWwlSwzseg/v-deo.html

    Thanks Brian for this funeral train video. As an adult 69 y/o i never once give it a thought that the circus train would ever retire, it just doesn't seem right that children can not enjoy this circus and the train, they went together just like the Royal American Carnival. There is no Six Flags could ever replace the dirt pathways and generator noise of the Royal American and the animal walk of the Ringling Brothers circus down a blocked street in the city. Thanks again.

    As of May 24, 2017, the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus train will
    never run again in official capacity.....how sad! I was fortunate to see the
    RBB&B circus train run thru my hometown of Jennings La about once
    every year....all I have now is my memories of the circus train...and this
    great video!!

This video brings back wonderful memories of living on the Circus Train and performing with "THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH" !!! Sincere thanks ; )

    Nice Video of this last Circus Train. Sad to hear it is all headed into history. I took my family to Baraboo Wi back around 1985 to see all their old historical equipment. Very good trip and was nice to visit there. Thanks again for sharing your photography.

    Every time the circus came to Chicago, it would always stay on a siding in a Union Pacific yard right down the street from my house. Even if people didn't have a love for trains, everyone would go to the local overpass to get a grand view of it. RIP. Great shots as always BTW.

    It amazes me that it takes a train that large to move a circus. I'm disappointed that none of the animals were visible, though. Thanks for suffering through the rain to catch that historic train. 😊😊

      The train is a city with a zip code. It housed all performers , staff, animals, equipment, machine shop, car hauler and the pie car. Truly one big family on a moving city. :-( They were over a mile long. And usually parked in the area with the biggest pothole, mini lakes LOL

    Rest in peace Ringling Brothers. We still have in our work bulletins how to handle the circus train cars and what people to contact to make circus train movements efficient. I guess the bulletins will be removed when operations completely shut down and the cars are taken to their home terminal.

    Love those old GRS gate mechanisms there at the first crossing, along with that MI mechanical bell! Shame the original 8 inch lights were replaced with LEDs. Nice catch! The L&N signals at the next one are great as well, even if the lights and bell were replaced! At least it still retains the original GRS gate mechs!

      Yeah. Talk about railroad crossing malfunctions. The lights go off before the gates go back up, and the warning bells stop when the gates are down. This is something to address to the railroad that runs this R.O.W.. I see they installed new rails and ties, but they didn't test the signals, that's a NO-GO.
