Now, this one (above) would evidently be NEXT week's scheduled Blue Unit train-run from Omaha NE to Colorado Springs CO, would it not?

well yea that's what i said, more info from tim vana omaha rails, also the above schedule he listed as tenative (oma-sprgs)..

The train leaves Elkhart, Indiana on Norfolk Southern 130am Wednesday 6/2/2010, arriving Chicago (Proviso?) UP 600am 6/2. There will be a four hour servicing stop for the animals at Rochelle, IL 10 am-2pm. Boone is scheduled for 915pm. Omaha arrival is 200am, at the old Union Sation grounds, now the Durham Western Heritage Museum. The livestock cars will be spotted there and the coaches in the Council Bluffs old UP not CNW yards..

The most current location of the circus train:

UP4076 Circus Train Last seen at Ashton, IL on 6/2 at 1330C SPROM-2 Circus Train BB Circus Train going to Omaha, Ne.

Wondering where the Flats will unload at this year in Omaha? Past data: Flats were unloaded at Nebraska and River Road (Council Bluffs, UP Yards). Coaches stored, as said above, CB UP Yds on track #358.
Any further information on unloading/storage of the Flats would be appreciated.

As for the CT ID breakdown from another above Post: SPROM-2
S = Customer Special PR = Proviso Yards, IL (Assembly/Departure Terminal) OM = Omaha, NE (Destination Terminal) -2 = 02 June 2010

Also, thanks for all the updates/field reports. All for now. bcd9
