Here are a few shots I did of the Blue Unit Ringling Brothers-Barnum & Bailey Circus train in the Union Pacific yards in North Little Rock, Arkansas on May 20 and 24, 2007. The train is here on its mid-season R&R 19-day layover. Many of the animals are housed in nearby Barton Coliseum. They've done this at this location several times in recent years. As of this writing (May 23), the train will be here about another week and a half.
   The train is parked in a very secure area, fenced off on the left from Central Arkansas Transit's bus barn, and on the right by the very busy UP freight yard. My photos were taken from inside the fence of the Transit's bus barn area and from the Main Street highway overpass.
   On Thursday, May 24, 2007, I took more pictures of the circus cars after they were moved a couple of hundred feet  to another area near 4th Street and Jenks Shops. These are at the bottom of the page. (Ken Ziegenbein photos)
