Off the train         
There a numerous shots of the Ringling Bros train, in my collection and elsewhere. We dont typically see the wagons once off the train. Dad caught several outside Madison Square Garden in New York. They would reach here either by staging at an old LIRR float bridge yard in Long Island City and going through the Midtown Tunnel, or staging in Jersey, coming through the Lincoln Tunnel. The train got from Long Island, where the circus usually played first, to Jersey via a convoluted route that involved LIRR, Amtrak, and Conrail.
