Elephant Walk - Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus

There is always excitement when the circus comes to town and this year was no exception. Huntsville is one the last stops for the Ringling Brothers Barum & Bailey Circus before the animals are taken to Orlando, Florida for the winter. The circus travels by a train that pulls 57 cars. The cast and crew of 300 (including a school for their children) in the circus live in half the train all season and the animals live in the other half of the train--it's been nicknamed "a small town without a zip code" by the circus people.
