Circus train approaches the tunnel  Contributor's Pick!       
One of the more unusual moves to run through Penn Station is the Ringling Brothers circus train, which uses he tunnel to run from the LIRR to a staging area for Madison Square Garden out in the Jersey meadows. We see it here at Hunterspoint Av on the LIRR as it heads into the East River tunnel.
