Footage of the Circus Train from Baraboo to Milwaukee. The segment includes many angles of the train: aerials through the Wisconsin countryside; on ground at whistle stops with crowds of families and small children gathered to see the historic circus wagons on flatbeds; aboard passenger cars with Chappie Fox and the engine with a cigar-smoking conductor; and on top of the train towards the engine above the circus wagons that are moving along the track. Highlights are two aerials along Lake Wisconsin and a stop in Waukesha at the train depot by the Fox Head Brewery building (which was demolished in 1967). The blue caboose is also shown with the Schlitz Brewing Company emblem, the official sponsor of the Circus Parade in Milwaukee held in conjunction with the 4th of July.
