The Ringling Brothers “World’s Greatest Shows” and the Barnum and Bailey “Greatest Show on Earth” circuses were combined in 1919. For most of the next 98 years, the show traveled from town to town by rail. The history of the shows, the development and evolution of the circus train, and modeling the RBBB train, from 1960 through the end of the line in 2017, will be discussed.
