Waiting room

[WLK]

I got really excited for you there for a second.

I was curious so we went for coffee at the Tim Hortons next to the dealership. They received a load of vehicles but they look like fleets. Fingers crossed for next week Congrats and good luck with your BS today.

Yep... It made a wrong turn.

Here is daily updates with changes

Day. Location. Wayne MI ETA
Wed E St Louis. IL Sun
Thu. Indianapolis. Mon
Fri. Nashville TN. Tue

At least the track from Nashville to Toledo makes more sense than the one from Indianapolis to Toledo.. I was questioning where they were going...

How are you getting such detailed information? What railroad is that? Union Pacific only gives mostly undecipherable jargon!

CSX gave me great information while it was on the Union Pacific. But now that it's actually on CSX im getting minimal updates... And they are delayed by over a day.. just this morning I got the arrival of it's location yesterday...

My BS is somewhere between Nogales AZ and Portland, OR for eventual delivery to the Seattle area. I can't get the Ford Chat link to work since they changed things up--I've tried both at home and at work, thinking it could be a browser or computer issue. And of course neither the Ford tracker or the order track app have updated in weeks--order track still shows it as ASN even though it's been on the train for at least a week, possibly longer.

Anyway, my daily call to Union Pacific gave me this information today. I'm at work so was able to request a faxed copy. Can someone help me decipher this?

Arrived where at 3:15 this morning? What does "estimated time of interchange delivery" mean? It says Missouri but I sure hope that's not the case because, if so, it's going the wrong way! Any help is appreciated!

Interchange is a transfer from one railroad to another.. usually takes a few days.. looks like they may be putting you on BNSF ..

Burlington northern Santa Fe.. I'm jealous if you are.. Santa Fe had beautiful engine design back in the day...

So...it's going to take another 6 days to take it to Missouri? And then put it on another train from Missouri to Portland, OR? And deliver to Seattle by truck by July 7-13? They must realize that there's probably a more direct, faster route from Arizona to Oregon than through Missouri, right? Geography is not my strong suit but I can sure look at a map and see that it doesn't make sense!!

I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us...your posts have been very helpful!

Officially made it into production. Invoiced 6 months + 9 days (191 days) after order. Ouch.

Sticker shows 731/1087 for build order.

So from what I can read.. there is huge congestion on tracks around LA with railroads picking up the lack of trucks available to move cargo in the USA... So it might actually be faster to go east of the Rockies versus west.. and cut across in the far north where there is a lot less cargo being routed .. why Missouri.. well there really are not many tracks going north south on the east side of the rookies... Like there is along the Pacific ocean.. I also am reading that in Chicago the is a overwhelming number of railcars to be unloaded that they are behind.. which is causing a lack of railcars being returned to LA to load... It's a big mess.. and we are all in thr middle of it...

May the Force be with you! Hope you get it all worked out without too much hassle.

It means the railcar that your BS was on is now on it's way to the next thing. Use Ford chat, they should have located at Barnes Yard, Or as your status.

oh wow, looks like you are following the rail shipping situation closely. I just know there are allot of containers still stuck off shore...and lots of containers are stored everywhere there is available space (like freeway interchanges or any empty lot available). I see them all over the place.

Wow, thank you again! That actually makes sense and helps me to feel a little better about the situation. Sounds like it could be quickest route after all. I have emailed my salesman to see what he can find out so we'll see what he says.

He's wrong. The status you got said the autorack was loaded and leaving Barnes Yard in Portland. Your vehicle will have been offloaded while the railcar was there, probably early this morning.

Check with ford Chat. Prawn maybe right . Your vehicle may be off and sitting in Portland and you maybe tracking a empty railcar..

Yeah, that's part of the problem....I can't get on Ford Chat (the link isn't working for me since they changed it up). Tried at home and at work with no luck. Do you know of a direct route to Chat without going through the support section of the Ford website?
