Railfanning Detroit and the circus train

[Ypsi]

Last Monday I was in Detroit from 6:30pm or so to 3:00am to see the circus train had south. This was a very questionable decision as I had an exam at 9:30 the next morning but it was worth it because I had a great time with 3 other rail fans and we got some good action on the CN during this time.

Circus Train

Excellent work, young man!
I counted 61 cars on the circus train. It must cost a ton of money just to move the circus from one town to the next, not to mention paying all the employees. I don't see how they make it. But I always loved the circus.
