Eastern Railroad Discussion > RBBB Red-on the road yet?

Any updates on the Circus train comin down through here in Lima? Would like to take my dad out to it, over by the shoo-fly here in Lima.

From the "Network"
Red Unit CT ID from CSXT P910-15 called for 11:15 AM STD, Monday 15 Nov 2010, out of Detroit.

Rumor from Detroit is that due to a yard derailment, today's train will have the stocks and coaches ONLY.

I would not expect to see this train in daylight today south of Toledo.

I agree, it will be a night run down the Toledo Sub...unless it left NOW and ran like mad to Toledo, got through the terminal, and out...

From the "Network"
CSXT 8591 (only) led the Orion consist to Pontiac.
CT is sitting in Pontiac.
Per above Post, there is a problem.
As of this Post CT may/maynot move today as planned.
All for now.

Wait a minute; is that derailment report about Red Unit's FLATCARS? Or is that due to a freight derailment blocking their flatcar access/retrieval?

Twenty-two circus flats on the ground at Lake Orion Yard, I'm told.

Train, minus the flats, now at Delray and expected to take the ex-PRR to Carleton, MI.

Get the elephants out am sure they can rerail the cars.

So will it still be a night time move, or will the train make it to Lima in daylight?

Hearing the train is out of Delray in Detroit...but, other then that no updates.

From the "Network": In coming data as of this Post - - 18 loaded flats are on the ground in upright position, RBBX 84708 Bi-Level is OK.

From the "Network" Coaches, Stocks 2 COFC are on the move with CSX Power. Should be by Delray.
As of this Post routing remains the same as has been Posted. All for now.

The chances of a daylight move through Lima evaporated a long time ago.

Partial CT moving on Lincoln Secondary. bcd9 ∑:=)

Looks like the Rossford Rocket (yard job) is working on the Toledo Sub S of Perry, per ATCS. Might have to run via F Tower or wait at Perry.

Question is-where is it right now and has it passed deshler yet? I know its through Toledo, so I am wanting a exact location.

By SEDT at Perry @1750, lined to Deshler.
