Ivan, These three photos are from the Conover Photographic collection. They were taken in 1957 and 1958. The actual photographer is unknown. The outdoors dates came after the Show closed under Canvas in 1956. It took a couple of years before the established a completely indoors route. The show leased RR baggage cars to carry the animals as their stock cars were antiquated for high speed rail travel. Trucks were built to haul the show.
