Annual arrival of Ringling Bros in Orlando for their "winter break" as they prepare for the next year's season. This train departed Chicago on November 30, arriving Orlando December 2. The animal cars & equipment flats are stored on Pinsly's Florida Central, their Silver Star Branch has close proximity to the Central Florida fairgrounds which serve as Ringling's base until they head south to begin the 2010 season. The passenger coaches are doubled up at CSXT's Pineloch Yard, south of downtown Orlando, with easy access to all the local roads & attractions. Delays usually have this annual event under the cover of darkness, but once in awhile, we get lucky.
