Circus Wagon Loading 4-2-17: Ringling Brothers Red Unit loading the train in Hampton, VA

On April 2nd 2017, I drove the three hours from my home in Northern Virginia to one of the most easternmost points in the state, Hampton, to watch the circus train load wagons in a process dating back well over 100 years. Not much has changed aside from the use of motorized vehicles over horses, and the wagons are more modern than the colorful wood-spoked wagons of yesteryear. But, given that the circus will be closing its acts permanently in May of this year, I simply had to capture this process on pixels one more time.
