"Well let me tell you what I know", O'Kelly said with a twinkle in his eye, "The GRRRs been signed to pull boxcars for that famous magician Rhadini. You know that fellow that pulls rabbits from his hat and makes all sorts 'o stuff disappear?" O'Kelly said with a smile. "He's got his entire show packed in these boxcars in the yard, and I've been hearing all sorts of hocus pocus coming from them at all hours of the day and night."
The Great Rhadini could not be reached for comment.
CIRCUS TRAIN
COMES TO GRRR
Gold Rush Gulch, May 20 --- The circus is coming to Gold Rush Gulch this summer, courtesy of the Gold Rush Railroad. Conductor Kasey O'Kelly confirmed to this publication that the GRRR will be pulling a series of circus railroad cars from Dr. Zodiac's Traveling Circus across the sun-baked desert on their slow journey east.
"Yes Siree Bob" O'Kelly exclaimed when asked about the rumors of giraffes and elephants being seen around the railroad yard. "I betcha folks will be coming from miles around to catch a glimpse of them wild animals!"
When asked about taking care of the animals on the long trip through the desert, O'Kelly said, "Well, I'll tell you, I'm sure hopin' I don't have to feed 'em or clean 'em. Now don't get me wrong, I love all sorts of animals, but I ain't planin' to share a boxcar with them critters."

Dead Man's Curve.
But more recently, with the activity surrounding the sale and demolition of the Simmons Mansion, Gold Rush Gulch's very own "haunted house", rumors have started circulating about the boxcars that will carry away the remains of that infamous house. We recently visited the GRRR to find out more about the
