Ringling Brother Barnum and Bailey Circus Train Bound for Hershey, PA

- May 21, 2012: On its way to Hershey, PA, the RBBB Blue Unit passes two former Reading Stations at Pottstown and Wernersville before arriving and letting off the horses and elephants. Then, the train is seen again departing for its layover in Harrisburg. Unfortunately, this is the second year in a row weather did not cooperate, but nevertheless, the elephant walk continued despite the rain. I figured it was about time I uploaded some RBBB content since I archived last year's event. Enjoy!
Train Symbol: 047
Power:
NS Dash-9-40CW 9502
NS Dash-9-40CW 9526
NS ES40DC 7707
The container portion of the train was parked at Derry Road in Hershey for unloading. Because of the rain, and tighter security this year, I decided not to film that event. If you want to see this operation, refer to my video from 2010:

I really enjoyed this video. You know how exciting it was to see the train come in to your city and be able to watch the elephants and other animals get off the train? I miss days like this when every thing was simple; watching the train come in with great excitement.😊
When they were in Denver they use to park some of the equipment at the Denver locomotive shop.
Endlich mal wieder ein längeres Eisenbahn-Video zum Geniessen!!!
This video was so well done it's unreal. The videographer gave me a 3-D look into Ringling life. He gave me every possible angle I could imagine, almost as if I were there at the unloading. Superb video work!
+Jay Young Are you kidding me? Do you know what they do to these poor animals?
@icweinstock...The good news is that B&B are correcting the matter.
Best video of RBBB. My son is one of the elephant handlers so I'm so entralled by these magnificent animals. Thank you for a very respectful high quality video....I also got to see my son in action in them. :)
I really miss the sound of the trains that used to run in front of my house before we moved. Now I have to travel over 100 miles just to see a train pass.
It's amazing to me that the circus is still in business and moving all around the country by rail. It must cost a fortune to move this train and maintain all the rolling stock. With with railroads not being as extensive in the country as they once were, I wonder how they get to all the locations that they need to? I'm glad they're still doing it by rail! Truly amazing!
Nice coverage. I hope those elephants are happy. I always think about the ones in other places that have freaked out in the past.
I love to watch more videos of circus trains in future also.
Great quality high definition video. About 8 years ago I had to wait at least 20 minutes for the Baily train to cross the road in Pontiac Michigan. I could not believe how many rail cars they had and I just gave up counting them all. !!!

Great video friend! Here also was the train of Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey in Mexico, arrived in Mexico City on May 20 (2012) and went on Monday 04 June (before yesterday), the first tow FTVM 8836 (SW1504) and then two KCSM ES44AC to tow the circus train Monterrey, NL (today began work there), and within a week return to the United States. He brought 59 wagons (counting cars and coachs).Greetings from Mexico! :)
Thanks Bill! Too bad about the weather!
Great videography and sound of a very unique train . . . Thanks for posting it!!!

Those doorways are too small and low for the elephants - they hit and scrape their backs on the top a they go out. Amazing how peaceful they can be in a strange place and with all that train noise.
Lovely! I love this video
Very cool! That's definitely the best Ringling Brothers train video I've seen. (And as I'm sure you know, there's a lot of them.) Nice work
I'm thrilled that you were able to show us the circus train, even the elephant walk. One place i would have been was at valley forge, but i must work mondays. Any form of excuse wouldn't have my manager pleased. It's an abuse of my responsibility in such a case of obsessing about a train.
Love your videos, great quality
Nicely done. Interesting stuff.
Lovely
WOW - Great video - thanks for posting!
Great video, enjoyed it very much.
Great Video!
COOL catch
Haha, well I don't know about that, this is just something I threw together, but glad you liked it! Thanks! Maybe next year it will finally run in good weather.
Great video!

poor animal
Great shot at 9:10
If i was there, I would be more interested in the idling GE units :)
Such a peaceful animal treated so cruelly.. For someone's entertainment these elephants spend a lifetime in captivity and suffer atrocities..

We've all seen a thousand videos of the train rolling by, barely any of them unloading and whatnot. Give yourself a little more credit haha

Does anyone know where train is now since they closed down?
Sorry for a late comment, all of the equipment has been sold to other railroads, museums, and some cars were scrapped

That loud horrible horn has to scare those animals to death !
You can see an elephant RUNNING from the handler's bullhook prior to the seven minute mark. This is shameful.
