If you look in my March AFB album I have a photo of this very aircraft at March back in 1978 on the main ramp.
The following is from the museum website.
The museum's B-52D, serial number 55-0679, was manufactured by Boeing Aircraft, Wichita, Kansas and delivered to the Air Force on June 5, 1957. During the Vietnam Conflict, it flew 175 combat missions in 41 months from November 1966 to October 1973. In 1975, it was involved in a ground mishap at March AFB that resulted in a broken wing spar permanently grounding the aircraft. 55-0679 last served as a weapons loading trainer before it was declared surplus and assigned to the museum.
Talking to a former B-52 WSO at Torrance Municipal it seems B-52's launched from March to bomb Vietnam with several refueling points along the route, the first being off Catalina Island.

The Roncalli Circus is pretty famous in Germany for regularly using rail to move between cities. To celebrate 40 years of using rail, they used steam loco (Dampflok) 38 2267 from the Eisenbahnmuseum in Bochum Dahlhausen to work DGS 50679 Essen Hbf - Köln-Kalk Nord Knf as it is seen passing Ratingen Lintorf. The circus had spent several weeks in Recklinghausen and was moving to it's home city of Köln.
