There's talk of them mothballing the Challenger. I have yet to see it, although I saw 844 when it came through a year or so ago.

There's also quite a sub-genre of model railroaders who model circus trains.

I was half expecting to see Giraffes sticking their heads out of the wagon roofs.
Or are US Circus's animal free now?

Barnum & Bailey have had elephants within the past five years because I've seen them "being taken for a walk" once when I passed the American Airlines Center in Dallas (where they set up these days).
