Hagenbeck & Wallace Circus
Posted By thecircusblog on November 5, 2012
These wagons were also at Jungleland. I also know that there were a few Al G. Barnes cage wagons along with 10 or 12 cargo wagons there. The cargo wagons as I remember had no names on them and their origin is not known to me. I do remember that there was a grass fire that started at the bone yard which did consume some of the older wagons. I believe the fire took place late 1952 or very early 1953. The above photo where these three wagons are stored is near the old butcher house. Thoughout the years Mr. Goebel sold many of his circus wagons. My friend Randy Runyon is helping me to research where and how many circus wagons are still in southern Calif. We known for a fact that many of the motion picture studios own numerous circus wagons. Randy will be paying a visit to the different studios to take photos and hopefully ID them.
