July 2022 Waiting Room

[bobdod]

Got my railcar - through NS it seems . Thanks @thekingprawn for your previous post with phone #s and instructions.

Tracking on phone said something about “Nogales undefined Aug. 21 3:18pm” . So maybe getting to Nogales at 3:18? Is that in local time zone or another if anyone knows? I’m also located in Mountain time zone.

Ford chat said ETA Sep 10-16!

If you really want to break your brain trying to understand trains, have a look at the openrailway map.

this is a cool map!. it even has the light rail transit included.

as for my BS, probably has been unloaded in San Bernardino/Loma Linda and waiting for the truck to be loaded...and enough cars to be loaded for transport.

Apparently NS is a little behind on the system, because it just said mine left St. Louis at 7:55 this morning. It should be in Shelbyville before tomorrow barring any unforeseen circumstances. Giving a heads up to my dealer AND the finance department (because they seem to care more) so they know that I know it will be there. I’m also going to make sure they don’t put dealer stickers on the back.

If anyone wants to print out the Open Rail map, I took a huge capture of it, which I'll link here.

Norfolk Southern is the only one giving me locations, UP just says "loaded" and CSX says it was released to UP back in June, before the car was built (obviously wrong info).

I've tacked the rail map to my wall and I'm starting to track it! Looks like it's moving along

It looks like both Ford unloading sites are Norfolk Southern.

Interesting to see the tracks through my neighborhood. Our local travels revolve around train traffic. The city one mile down the road has the unofficial motto, “LaGrange, a Train Runs Through It.” The whole town recently had a makeover on HGTVs debut episode of “Home Town Kick Start.’

LaGrange is one of the best cameras on the virtual railfan network.

We enjoy drinks and train watching from the restaurants (and bars now that it is no longer a dry county) in LaGrange.

It might be a good location for this crew to meet up when everyone is out of purgatory ?

Sounds to me like they got in your vehicle, turned it on to start working on it or move it or test it and denied the request on the screen. The factory is closed on Sunday, so definitely curious.

Oh crap…I hope someone isn’t stealing it! maybe they have some people working on trying to get these cars done????

While the Ford offices were closed today I thought I would try Ford Chat. I was given the usual speech with the included ETA 8/8-8/14… what???? Did Darrell not realize todays date? Wish it was a phone call bc my reply would have taken too long to type plus he would have also enjoyed my hysterical laughing.

Preparing to ship?

Preparing to ship?

Maybe putting the chip in?? Didn’t they de-activate yours then put your chip in? Do you remember how long from when they de-activated yours until you got your built and shipped notice?

It was later that same day.
