July 2022 Waiting Room

[Jenbeth]

So, I have been tracking mine with the Norfolk Southern number since the beginning. My bronco had been in illinois since the 13th. I tracked it this morning and it said arrival on train in Gibson, Indiana on the 23th. That is going the opposite direction of Minnesota by a long way. Any chance my bronco got off in Chicago on to a different train and this info is incorrect now? Anyone had that happen?

You will get a message saying it was unloaded at some point. I was hopeful of the same thing when mine passed its final drop location and spent a week traveling into another state and back again, then passing it’s final destination again and stopping for four days before returning and finally being unloaded. They will not transfer from o e freight car to another and there is no reasoning that a lay person could understand regarding the path of travel.

Then I am guessing I will not get mine by my ETA dates of sept 28-Oct 4 unless I get lucky! I can’t remember @Jenbeth was yours after your ETA?

My ETA was 9/11-17 and I got it on the 12th. You would have to look back around those dates in the thread or search by my username to see my posts about actual messages from the train companies and lengths of time I waited. If you don’t check the trains every day, it’s possible it could have been dropped off somewhere. Mine was reloaded right after being dropped off because that rail yard does both drops and pick ups.

Thank you! I have been checking everyday. It said Dalton, IL interchange received 9/21 as of last night still then switched this morning and said arrival on train in Gibson, Indiana on the 23rd. So not sure what happened the 24th. I will just have to try to be patient. Of course, I text my dealer on Friday and have heard nothing?

Ok, fellow sun roofers… does yours open all the way or just 3/4??? I feel like mines broke! All my other cars have cleared the opening.

Opens completely, but the buttons were confusing at first. Left is for the window (but has to open the screen first. right is for screen only. I did learn that I need to get my sunroof tinted. After getting the front windows tinted it was a shock when I opened it.

Check FordChat. After the fact I realized how helpful their tracking was. They don’t give you false hope, which was what I was wanting when I called. In hindsight I’m glad they were honest about it.

I think my original receive date was 9/26/22 to 10/01/22. My Big Bend arrived 9/17/22. 9 days early!

Does the actual window open that far too? Looks big!

Have you tried looking up tracking on United Road yet?

My VIN is displaying on the United Road site along with load number and destination.

Does it mean anything at this point?

Just that there is an order in to transport your Bronco when it gets to The Heights with United Road

Tracking says my BS is Hermosillo undefined? 9/23 5:55 pm. Nothing further. Guess I’m still in Mexico. Normal to sit for a few days?

Are you tracking via NS? For me they seem the most accurate

no, my moon roof does not open the whole way

Yes and did UP which gave me an ETA at final ramp of 10/13.
