It looks like Ford is now holding back deliveries from dealers at the rail yards. I know of at least four in the Chicago Heights yard and now one was mentioned on hold in the Memphis yard. Already called Ford and they had no clue as to why it’s being held back. Anyone else having their Bronco held at the yard and anyone heard why?

I understand the driver shortage, but Ford is physically preventing these Bronco sports from being shipped from the rail yard even if they have truck drivers for them.

Mine has been sitting in Nogales, USA for about a week. Nowhere near the final destination but it seems a long time to be sitting there.

So how do you know where your BS is after you've received notice it's been shipped?

So, that’s probably not the case. Mine did the same thing when it crossed the border. Ford chat swore that it was in Nogales for a week. If you got the rail car info, your Bronco is going to still be on that car. There is no physical way to offload a vehicle in Nogales

When I called United road, that is what they told me. They can’t ship the car to my dealer because Ford has put a hold on it. Ford customer service has also confirmed that Ford has put a hold on the car, but no reason for the hold has been given.

If you can get the rail car info from Ford Chat you can trace it that way. I tracked my rail car all the way to the Chicago Heights yard even though Ford chat had no clue where it was. Once it got to the Heights United Road updated the car from inactive to pending pickup so I had that confirmation it was at the yard. Then on Monday Ford put a hold on it preventing it from being delivered.

I've talked to Ford chat several times and they've just given me the same estimated delivery date that the email gives me, which has been extended 5 times. I'm surprised you managed to get that information from them. I'm still not sure how my sport ended up at the plant they build the big bronco in

You don’t that’s kinda the fun part. It can be tracked but that takes real effort. Also if there are delays you won’t get info on how long or what the eta is outside of what Ford provides as a delivery date.

I asked my dealer for a visibility report. It showed me what train car my BS was on and every time it passed one of the railroad interrogation stations it would show an updated location. The worst was when I waited a week to get on a truck to the dealer because all I could see was that it was at the destination train depot. I finally spotted it on a web cam waiting in line for a freight boat to deliver it to my dealer.

I am suspecting there are 3 Sports at the New Castle Delaware Ramp being held. This morning they were on the United Roads pending pickup list. Now poof they have disappeared. Not pending, not delivered and not en route. Mine is due to land at the ramp today or tomorrow. Can’t find it right now. The rail car has departed its last destination but tracking is giving me a location for 10:25 pm tonight. It’s 5:55 so 🤷🏼‍♀️ how can they scan in the future.
