Hi! This is my first time posting here. This circus train wreck happened in Lafayette County, MO, East of Kansas City, MO, sometime around, or between, 1933-1935 give, or take, a few years. My grandma, who was a young child, at the time, lived within that area with her parents & remembers the hearing about the incident & finding out that some of the circus animals had possibly escaped. We are not sure what circus it was though (Ringling Brothers & Barnum Bailey possibly.) & if the circus animals, that had possibly escaped, were recaptured. According to my grandma, the wreck happened somewhere around the Little Sni A Bar Creek crossing on, what is now, the Union Pacific Railroad near Wellington, MO, in Lafayette County, MO. I've tried looking up info about this train wreck online, but keep coming up empty. Please help, thank you.
