One of the first uses of the circus train is credited to W. C. Coup. He partnered with P. T. Barnum in 1871 to expand the reach of their newly combined shows using locomotives. Before circus trains, these operators had to lug around all their animals, performers, and equipment with a team of more than 600 horses.

Performing at many of these small towns was not very profitable, because of these limitations, circuses could not grow as large as the imaginations of the operators. After they began using circus trains, Barnum and Coup brought their show to large cities. These performances were much more profitable, and the profits went towards creating an even bigger and better circus. Multiple rings were added, and the show went on.
