NS doesn't run from Nogales. It will go on Union Pacific until it is handed over at an interchange (Chicago, East St. Louis?) Right now it has probably crossed the border and is waiting to be picked up there.
The autoracks are shared by all carriers. Any alphanumeric identifier can be moved by any rail company.
TTGX is a designation of the rail car format…so most, if not all of our vehicles will be on a TTGX.
How did yours get to Chicago.. what cities did it go through before that
Basically call all three and use whatever info is best or right . For me CSX was the only one by with info till it hit the Mexican border... Then both UP and CSX provided info.. UP Gabe me the interchange info and CSX the current info... Once I get across nthe Mississippi who knows which ones will work
Train tracking is fun... Mine left Kansas City MO today heading for East St. Louis Illinois... Which is finally getting close to Michigan...
I'm back into 12 hour shiftwork soon and likely on nights (as usual), so I'd ideally like to have this done before that happens. Ford's estimates are accurate only so much as barring problems they will definitely make that time. My BS made it over 1600 miles in 11 days and now I'm expected to believe that the last 165 miles will take over 3 weeks? It's either inaccurate or a failure of the process.
Honestly... It's a crap shoot... Train and truck combination ... Too many variables
I would love for you to share a bit more of your insight in this train tracking process. Especially since you live relatively close to where I live. I would be happy to DM my rail car # to you if you are willing to help. All in all, it's great to see people closing the gap of ownership and seeing the Sports getting built and shipped.
