In this June 13, 2017 photo, two sleeper cars from a former Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus train sit temporarily parked on railroad tracks behind the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel in Scranton, Pa. The Erie Lackawanna Dining Car Preservation Society, a railroad heritage group that has about 350 members nationwide and is based in Dunmore, Pa., acquired three train cars from the former Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus that will be relocated to the society's Scranton, Pa., storage area. The two sleeper cars rolled into Scranton, Pa., on Sunday, June 11 and the third car, used to transport large animals including elephants, was scheduled to arrive in Scranton, Pa., later in the month after leaving Florida on Friday, June 9.
