FIND YOURSELF A CIRCUS AND GO TO IT.

Traditionally, the itinerant circus began touring on the First of May, and the rookies went by that moniker until they had a full season on the tour.  It was a hard-knock life, and a lot of newbies moped off.

The Karlson Brothers Circus opened its season with a weekend benefit performance in winter quarters.  (Willimantic, Connecticut, if you're curious.)  Then the New Haven Railroad, evaluating some freight motors, delivered it to the State of Maine Northern to begin the summer tour.

The empty spaces on the flat cars are for wagons that might be ready shortly.

See you down the road.
