The Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus was enlarged to 48 railroad cars making it the largest in it’s history. The bulk of new wagons were the fancy parade wagons that came from the Ringling assets as well as what was in Peru, to create a massive new daily Street Parade. Some of these wagons had not been used in almost 15 years.
