The deal is that NS will announce the details. It is their show. They did approve of the limited announcement on the website.
These things are easy to keep secret...in advance. You limit the knowledge to just the board members. Yes, all railfans in the Ft.Wayne area knew about her break in run in 2006 as of that morning...but the lack of advance warning kept the crowds limited to those within easy driving distance. It is a pain for railfans, but good for relations with the railroads. Big railroads HATE big crowds...and so the routes (which can change even after departure) are rarely ever published in advance.
This summer will be the best 765 chasing since 1993...possibly the best ever.
I wouldn't count on a Derby train...
