Circus Locomotive Parade Truck Tells A Novel Tale
A veteran circus describes a one ton Chevrolet truck chassis carrying a miniature railroad coach as the most novel advance in traveling shows. Built with Kansas City Southern plan support, the replica locomotive is used as parade centerpiece and ticket office in a 12 state Morris and Castle circuit. The unit, christened Shreveport, aids flexible scheduling and cuts train delays. Obituary notes for John W. Wagner reflect on faith family and community after his June 1926 death.
