Eastern Railroad Discussion > Any progress on the Ringling move to Nebraska?

Let's try the question again, does anyone have any progress information on the Ringling move from Hershey, PA to Nebraska?

Thanks for actual information.

But I thought Ringling was in Montana; at least that what Jimmy Buffett says!

Through Lewistown, PA @ 9:00 A.M.

Thanks for the update.

Sorry to keep hammering this question but it is a long drive to the tracks and knowing when to start is difficult. Has the train reached Pittsburgh yet?

If they went through Lewistown at 9AM, I wouldn't expect them to get out of Altoona much before 11AM. I'd figure Conway around 2 at the very earliest.

Thanks Mike. It is just so hot to drive somewhere and sit for hours in the heat, that's why I'm trying to make it a closer call on traveling. And of course, now we're going into the hottest part of the day. The other part of this quandry is, I'm one of three persons in the world who still doesn't have a cellphone. So once I leave the home computer it's guesswork as to whether or not the train has passed. More than once I've sat for a long time waiting a train which has already passed.
