Circus Train Unloads at 12th Street Station in Lynchburg, Virginia - October, 1952

from the archives of The News & Advance…

The Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus train unloads at 12th Street Station in Lynchburg, Virginia in October, 1952, as photographed from the Craddock-Terry Shoe Factory Fort Hill Plant. The train has been split into several sections to fit into the relatively short tracks at the station. Elephants are seen being led toward 12th Street to begin the long walk up the street and then down Fort Avenue to Harvey’s Field at Wards Road. In at least one year, the circus paraded from this point to Main Street, down Main to 5th, up to Church, then back to 12th Street and then all the way to Harvey’s Field…a walk that included a torturous climb for the animals back up 12th Street hill.

Shorty Coast Starlight passes by Metz (10 miles north of King City) in 2008, on its way down the Coast Line. The train was all coach in that spring due to construction on the UP mainline in Northern California.
