My favorite stop walking home from school at Cardington Stonehurst was Frank's Pet Shop on Marshall Rd and Harrison Ave. He always let me play with the pets for sale.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus, Upper Darby
The circus train passes Fernwood siding heading for Marshall Rd field
this picture is from Thomas J Leonard
I remember when I was little and my Dad would wake me in the middle of the night to watch and listen to the circus train pass our house on Church Lane. The tracks, right across the street in Cobbs Creek Park, went directly to the field on 69th and Marshall, where they would set up. The next day we would go up to the field and watch the men and animals set up the Big Top.
