If the horses can’t pull it, the elephants can. In this photo the elephants are pulling the seat blank wagon, These wagons were extremely heavy, but to an elephant, it’s just a walk in the park for them.

Barnes tableau ticket wagon? It does not seem to have the same building characters as a ticket wagon….. No windows and bars that it should have. It is possible the photographer saw the sign at the back of the wagon and figured it as a ticket wagon. I think it is a cargo wagon and its uses were many, even a band wagon. I have no date on this wagon……. Bob Cline will Know.

The information I have from the negative folder says, Two elephants following cook house wagon to the lot . 1935. I do not see a bull man with them,but that’s OK they know the way. They have been to this lot before.
