Image of the Month

Its been a long month, and I have been on the workbench building a sawmill for the club layout. However in celebration of my wife taking me to the circus tonight, I offer a rather interesting photograph from a forgotten era when the circus' traveled by train. Yes, Ringling still does, but it is not the spectacle it once was. Just admire the artwork on the side of the baggage car...



I will be back next month with more interesting tidbits and railroad stuff...
