The Ding - a - Ling Bros. circus train unloaded on the BNSF in Renton, WA., today for shows @ the new ShoWare Center in Kent this weekend. It appears the wagons & animals were unloaded @ BNSF's Orillia Auto facility, located @ CP Glacier Park.( I was stuck in the traffic backup from the animal parade down West Valley Rd.) A search this evening shows some RBBX flatcars in Orillia yard; other flats & animal cars on the spurs just South of Orillia Auto facility. No sign of the passenger cars / living quarters yet. This venue ( ShoWare Center ) is a new booking for the circus; perhaps as a replacement for Key Arena in Seattle ??? Ironically, the center is right next to Ewe - Pee's mainline through Kent, WA.
