This years version was scheduled to run to Oak Island via CSXT to be turned over to NS on Saturday for the run up NJT to The Southern Tier....Some reports suggest it is quite a bit behind schedule...

H90 (James E. Strates Carnival Train) clear WC (Waldwick,NJ) at 12:45PM

NS D9-44CW 9242
NS D9-44CW 9555
NS D9-44CW 9387

So whats the story? Will it come back east this time around or will it continue west when the show wraps up? I'm seeing that they lost their contracts in New York. http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/ ... cades.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This train has always gone through without me getting a shot of it.
