Meanwhile, the Blue Unit's 142nd Edition remains in Rosemont IL through Nov. 11, after which they have a Nov. 12 scheduled move to downtown Chicago.

Red Unit's "BUILT TO AMAZE" 2013 schedule is BEGINNING to be posted on the show's official website:

http://www.ringling.com/TourSchedule.aspx?action=showschedule&show=rd_143&parentID=1409&assetFolderID=1426

Remember that this is a PARTIAL schedule as of now, and more towns are pending addition to the list as the venues are "confirmed" by the show.

Looks like an NS Chicago line to Detroit line routing, and will the Home run go via the CSX Toledo Sub this year?

Does the Chicago line to Detroit mean that will go north through Wyandotte, Mi. It went through here on Tuesday last year. Is that about time frame this year.Sorry for asking for so many details but I'm working a lot of OT and need to see if I can be at Oak St staion when it goes through.
Thank You for any help

IF they are going to Auburn hills, it seems like a possibility.
