List,

We had a couple of Ringling cars in our negs. This one is unloading in 1961
at Exchange & Michigan Sts in Buffalo, between the NYC and Erie
Freighthouses. The NYC FH is behind the car. The car is on NYC team track.
About 2 blocks away in Memorial Auditorium, where the circus played. When
these tracks were ripped out in late 60's(?), the cars were then unloaded
from the Buffalo News Siding opposite the NYC Exchange St depot.
