5 years ago, I witnessed the last run of the Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus Train through West Trenton, NJ, pulled by a pair of CSX ES44AC-H diesels, CSX 3159 & CSX 726.

Did you know about the 1918 circus train wreck in Chicago? A conductor fell asleep behind the wheel and hit the circus train, leaving multiple people injured or dead.

Our story on Union Pacific's Challenger 3985 was originally produced when it was still in excursion service. It was retired by UP in 2020 and donated to Railroading Heritage of Midwest America last year where it will undergo restoration. Hop aboard our "blast from the past" story and enjoy this powerful locomotive's trek across Nebraska. #nebraska #trains #trainspotting Union Pacific Railroad | Nebraska Stories
