JUNE 1 RED UNIT Train-Run from Omaha NE to Colorado Springs CO.  We "expect" this move to be on UP, however it's always possible they could use BNSF.  Look for "BlackCat9" 's post Sunday afternoon or evening for updates, and FIELD REPORTS on what line they take out of Omaha will confirm which RR they are on upon departure.  (Arrival at Colorado Springs might be early morning June 2 if they face any freight train congestion en route.)

2015 Red Unit Circus Train:
---60 Cars (39 conventional passenger-type cars; 21 TTX-[type] piggyback flats)
---4,370 Tons (when fully loaded)
---5,320 Feet (WITHOUT host RR's power attached; 1 mile = 5,280 feet)  

RED UNIT -- 145th Edition -- "CIRCUS XTREME" -- on the FIRST half of its 2-year tour.

Current RBBB rail-tour Edition Numbers for the two railroad shows, Red (and Blue), are measured from the show's first year, 1871. Train-run ["jump"] dates presume each train departs the morning [or day] after the closing performance date. RBBB Circus Trains can change scheduled routing and departure time without notice.
