Circus Train Today - 3/8/10

Received the following via email. Text and pictures are by Rich Taylor.

The Ringling Bros Circus will be at IZOD Center in East Rutherford 3/10 to 3/14.
Their Circus Train arrived today, 3/8/10.
They left the dormitory cars at Croxton, and proceeded with the animal (stock) cars and flats to East Rutherford . The train used the new Meadowlands Station trackage to access the center.

The train ran past SPORT to west of Broad Street Carlstadt, then backed past PLANK onto the PB connecting track to BERRY and east. The flats were left on the tangent paralleling Paterson Plank Road by the race track. The stock cars were brought forward, crossed over from the north track to the south track at BERRY and backed to just short of the Meadowlands station.

The animals were unloaded about 3:30 per an unimpeachable source, as I had to leave.
