circus train
Norfolk Southern train 047 heads down the Lurgan Branch on the south end of Shippensburg, PA with the nearly mile-long Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey "blue unit" circus train.
2017 marks the end of the 147-year run for the RBBB circus, folding their big tent forever.
Video from a drone of the train passing this location can be seen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=trE1SLT5xLM
The locomotives handling the job are NS 8370 (a former Conrail "dash 8") and NS 9369 (a "dash 9").
Big thank you to everyone on FB who provided status information on the train's location for those of us who were trackside.
