Ringling Brothers Acquire Short Line Railway in Missouri
Rumor says Ringling Brothers, circus owners with several small railroads, closed the deal for the St. Louis and Hannibal Short Line. A 90 ton locomotive arrived in Hannibal, consigned to Ringling Brothers, signaling possible ownership change though official word from St. Louis & Hannibal Railway was not yet received. Some locals speculate about future electrification under new owners. General manager H M Modisett declined to confirm the sale.
