The Circus Train Arrives in Huntsville

There is always excitement when the circus comes to town and this year was no exception. Huntsville is the last stop 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.
