I would certainly love to know more about this and what it would take to get started in this business. Please feel free to email me in your spare time, I’m 100% serious about this and would love an opportunity to speak with you!

I work for the railroad and move circus trains. RBBB circus is no longer but the Streights Brothers is around and their train and equipment is so old its scary. Do the owners get rich while the entertainers suffer?

In reply to No Nonsense Landlord. Haha... Definitely sounds fun though. Especially if you were financially free and can do whatever it is you wanted :)

Don’t even tempt me with more stories like this. If I would have found a circus train as a kid, I would certainly still be on it.

I met some guys who were riding trains around the country about a month ago. I often thought that would be cool too. They looked like they needed a long hot shower though, so I didn’t get too close to them, in case something jumped off.

Another amazing story! I’m sure you’re still doing a lot of fun stuff and you are prolly the life of the party anywhere you go with stories like this. Thanks for the insight into circus life!

In reply to Tonya@Budget and the Beach. I never saw that movie. The book was pretty good though. I wish my train car had been that lush.
