The long awaited arrival of John Ringling's restored private rail car "Wisconsin" took place this evening in Sarasota, FL.

The photo is of the wrapped car on the back of a truck in the parking lot of the Sarasota Kennel Club just up the street from the museum.  The car was taken off the truck and loaded on house movers for the last half mile of its trip to the museum.  The truck could not make the turns going down the back alley of the museum.  The house moving dollies can be steered so the long load can be jockeyed into the back end of the museum grounds.  The car will be placed back on railroad track at the museum and rolled into the circus museum for display.
