RMweb Premium melmerby Posted January 1, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 1, 2019 Circuses do not neccessarily have to have animals, many here in Europe operate successfully without any animals. Probably very few still with performing animals. The Circus that visits my area is "Uncle Sam's American Circus" completely animal free but they do have large American beasts with the name of Mack, Kenworth & Peterbilt!

RMweb Gold Regularity Posted January 1, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 1, 2019 Phil, I agree, but I was responding to a complaint about PETA. Sometimes they can go too far and some ideas are ill-thought out, but not in this case. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave the actual time so you only have to drag the bar back until you get to it. They took a while to fix it. Well over an hour before it moved and cleared the final crossing in the town.

Wendell1976 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 To add to what Keith had just shared(about railroad tracks going through a traffic circle/roundabout), here's another example of railroad tracks in a roundabout. This picture is a Utah Transit Authority(UTA) TRAX light rail train in Salt Lake City, Utah. The light rail tracks cut through the campus of The University Of Utah along Campus Drive. Guardsman Way intersects Campus Drive at the roundabout. http://www.railpictures.net/photo/545179/ Wendell Idaho, USA 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
