During Sunday, they will be transporting any over the road rides and equipment going to the Chemung County Fair. The remainder of the stuff will be reloaded on the flat cars. Sounds like the loading there will begin on Monday.Dose the Strates Show have or still have a Locomotive? I rember about 6 maybe 7 years ago seeing what looked to be a yellow/Orange color Geep tied on to a Strates Show Train. This was back when the cars where Red and Yellow Color.
It is expected that the train will be ready to depart Binghamton sometime late Tuesday. It will be pulled via the NS to Buffalo and should be handed off to the Buffalo Southern Wednesday morning. It is planned to unload at Hamburg during the day Wednesday.
Power for this year's unloading at Hamburg will be RS-18 1847 and RS-11 5010.
As always, if people wish to view the operation, they are reminded to stay on public property. The railroad tracks and most of the area around the unloading site are private property. Please, no tresspassing and give the Strates crews lots of room on Scott Street for the unloading and staging of equipment.
