Not only that, There are rumors going around that there are passenger cars AND flat cars being staged at the old facility where the performers practiced.

After they shut down, they disposed of the railcar fleet with a few exceptions.
Trying to replace what they had before is now basically not possible.

North Carolina DOT bought several cars from the circus. Most of them burned to the ground in a suspicous fire after the media revealed their location in storage.

Yep, what did they think would happen when you park equipment in an unsecured location?
Remember that UP locomotive that was parked out in southwest Utah?
