Circus Train coming!!!
Re: Circus Train coming!!!
Great info. Can you ask about the Detroit play dates? Where will train be coming from and which railroad. I figgure it will go out on CSXT since Detroit is their last play date before going to Florida.

I'd also be interested in knowing about the trip up to Detroit, as I'd love to catch them. I'm also planning to try to catch them going through Toledo this Monday.

The train will be coming from Pittsburgh again this year for the Auburn Hills performances. It was a 1am arrival at Orion Yard.
They ended up going onto NS heading south after the shows at Auburn Hills in 2011, and CSX via the Lincoln Secondary in 2010.

Re: Circus Train coming!!!
Here is the tentative schedule subject to change for the Pittsburg to Auburn Hills then to Tampa final season run.
And any times on here I would suggest local research to give a plus or minus 12 hour window

Re: Circus Train coming!!!
Yep Typical Railroad scheduling! LMAO, waited at Three Rivers to set up a night shot till sunrise, oh well headed back towards home around Schoolcraft and saw the Southbound absolute at PARK was already lined for a high green so I didn't like any of the low sun lighting scenario's so I went to YZ Ave. just South of Schoolcraft to take a shot, some fan pulled up and said he just took the signal at the Schoolcraft Interlocking.
Here is my result, to much shadow from trees but what the heck, theres always next year?
