Viewing Album:  1990s Circus World Museum Circus Trains
 
By:Andre Wehrle
Dates:7/10/1990 - 7/2/1999
Album Info:Until the aging rolling stock lost its FRA certification after 2003, the Baraboo-based Circus World Museum's show traveled to Milwaukee's Great Circus Parade by rail. The trains were pulled by everything from C&NW SD40-2s to WSOR's red and gray E9s. Even steam locomotives such as 1385 and Soo Line 1003 fronted the train some years, unfortunately my family missed those.

Description:  Unfortunately, my mom didn't bother to get a shot of the power in this year. Per info from Rick King via Facebook: "The guy in the red shirt is Tim Perkins, Superintendent of Buildings and grounds at CWM and Asst. Wagon Shop superintendent. The guy in the white shirt (on the caboose) is CNW man Norm Anderson, carman from Janesville."

CP 4618
Title:  CP 4618
Description:  The CWM's circus trains took different routings to Milwaukee in alternating years. Here, the CP power coupled onto the tail end will take the train north and then east on old Milwaukee Road trackage. The previous year the routing was all C&NW. This pattern would end by the next year with WSOR taking over all local operations on ex-C&NW track in Madison.
