 In order to further obfuscate matters, the train that carried the illicit load of gold was a circus train - likely filled with many animals that were ostensibly to be delivered to the Assiniboine Park Zoo on the west end of the park in Winnipeg, Manitoba.The confusion and din caused by these animals on board the train are considered as contributing factors that may have been involved in the wreck.There is significant interest in the area to recover the gold.
