What are Circus Trains?

Circus trains began in the 1870s, by replacing the shows that moved by slow animal-drawn wagons. Over the years these trains grew in length as the train cars switched from wood to steel construction. Circus trains typically consisted of three types of cars: large animal cars, flat cars loaded with colorful wagons and passenger cars for the workers and performers.

The greatest number of circus trains operated between 1920 and 1950. Over those years many merged and others went broke. Our Circus Trains reenact these operations on several of our layouts!
