[QUOTE]Originally posted by dash-al: [QB] cut-n-paste from the Santa Ana Branch thread ~ ~ ~ More on the Circus train in Anaheim, some info at the end duplicates BSME's post. Two images on my thread at TO on the western board at this link. [URL=http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?f=1&i=262488&t=262488]http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?f=1&i=262488&t=262488[/URL] The UP local crew (the Marlboro) shuffled some of the RBBX cars around Friday evening as the circus begins to prepare for their move out of Anaheim. The Marlboro is a Sunday to Friday job, but looks like they got their Sunday work done on Friday, eh ?? The animal cars that had the wheel problem has been repaired, and the track as well. It sounded as if a brake was stuck ( ?? ) and ruined two wheels and some track near the Katella crossing. The equipment flat cars were taken down the Tustin Branch and shoved as far back as the 57 freeway, almost to that crossing at the access road to the Pond parking lot at Phoenix Club Drive. Next, the two animal cars that were stored on the Ganahl Lumber spur were taken back across the diamonds to South Anaheim. Both of these cars suffered some vandalism in the form of aerosol graffiti while on the runaround track approaching Ganahl and Diversified. I couldn't decipher any animal rights messages, just picked out a tagger's name that I have seen on other rolling stock. I wonder if the Circus has paint and rollers on board ?? Maybe a quick trip to Home Depot is in order ?? The other two animal cars were picked up from the stub track on the south side of Katella, then all four animal cars were dropped at South Anaheim, presumably to keep an eye them and prevent further vandalism. Pity those crew members with their rooms near these cars. Phew... them animal cars have a very annoying odor. Some attempt has been made to remove the graffiti, rather unsuccessfully. Hopefully it can be painted over before rolling out of Anaheim on Monday. Now they not only smell bad, but they look bad too. Sounds like the UP Marlboro crew will be on hand at South Anaheim around 3:00pm on Monday to build the train, about a three hour task. Probably ( possibly ?? ) UP power/BNSF crew to be used to go to San Diego. Then the same power to take the circus on to Reno, Nevada. Last year there was a "who is gonna supply the power" issue, if I remember correctly... It may all happen again. [/QB][/QUOTE]
