July 2022 Waiting Room

[anniem]

I found this This Site posted by @thekingprawn a while back in the waiting room. I've found it very helpful when I have a hard time understanding the NS tracking automated voice. For some reason my BL is traveling on UP but I get the best updates from NS. Mine has just recently passed through Elk Grove, Ca. Getting so close!

Did you track it on United’s webpage? Does it show pending pickup? it will also give you the date it will be transported to dealership from rail yard. If you can’t get it to work PM me your vin & I’ll search for you.

didn't know there was a way to do that

What "arrival at industry" estimate are you getting? My guestimation is next Tuesday or Wednesday.

Estimate is 9/19 at Industry. Dealership estimate is 9/26 - 10/2. I'm down in Tacoma.

10 days on rail is a day shaved off of mine and a couple others in the area. 5-12 for OTR is a damn fine estimate, especially considering they beat the estimates a lot.

Side question: is Titlow Park a safe area? I want to come watch trains there and maybe get some photos with the Narrows bridges in the background.

 

[Red_405]

Hot off the presses! Eek so excited. She’s dirty but had to share she finally arrived! I will pick her up later! ?
did look, no passenger cover.. will ck under the hood for those items when I go back in couple hours.

Titlow is definitely safe, and very popular on the weekends. The tavern near it called the Beach has good food too. We actually keep our boat at the Marina right near Titlow and I have a sweet spot picked out in the marina extra parking area to take a pic with the Narrows in the background when I finally get my BL.

What the typical lead time from in transit to getting your rail car info. I went to in transit this morning but Ford Chat can’t find the rail car info

Should already be available unless there's a lag in updating the VVR for some reason.

Ooh, We should plan a meet up for pictures. We can put our Velocity Blue‘s on either side of your Carbonized Grey and make a Badlands sandwich. ???. Well maybe not, but it would be fun to get 3 in a picture with the Narrows in the shot.
