Western Railroad Discussion > Circus train to Las Vegas?

Anyone have the schedule for the Ringling Bros. circus train coming to Las Vegas next week?? Thanks!

The 56-car RED UNIT's train run from Topeka, KS to Las Vegas, NV is scheduled to be a two-day affair, June 16 and 17. I do not know the railroads involved, except that since UP is the only RR in town at Vegas, they'll be used at least for that portion of the trip.

Show's website for schedule is http://www.ringling.com/schedule/index.aspx
In the pop-up box, click on the second entry "Show All Cities."

Meanwhile, David Davies, well-known Eastern Discussion board contributor, has posted some incredibly beautiful shots of this train at TO.com (taken of their June 9 trip out of the Northeast, and shown in the Horseshoe curve vicinity). You can view the 4 photos here (scroll down when you get there):
