What if you are at your destination rail yard waiting for a truck for the dealer delivery???

I’m renting a flatbed and picking it up myself!

You should be fine, the thing that was posted yesterday from Norfolk Southern railways said, as of now they were still allowing truckers to pick up and remove vehicles already in the lot. Id assume it would be that way for the other rail companies too.

I my train moved from Siberia to Bakersfield this morning. I'm assuming that BNSF is either gonna get it to my final destination today, or they moved it to Bakersfield to park until the labor negotiations are resolved.

14 days in “built”, no updates. Ford cat gave me 9/15 estimate early in the week. Common convoy…. It would be the cherry on top of a solid vacation to come home and pick up the bronco when I get home.

Is there anyway to track after being dropped off at a rail yard waiting for a truck?

At that point you're at the mercy of getting information from your dealer. They should know when shipments are scheduled.

Got on with Ford Chat this morning and got my rail car number, TTGX994774. Called CSX and system said it was "empty as of June 18th", so then called Union Pacific and the system said the rail car was loaded on 9/12 with a destination of Arlington, TX............well dang it, you can stop in Omaha first!

Bronco is here. Tint and tires/wheels next week! Picking up tonight

Well, I was shipped last week. So far it has made it all the way to Chicago...at this rate of travel I should see it mid-'23 with the potential rail strike. They are still showing an ETA of 9/22-9/28 but we all know how good Ford is at meeting dates...

Oh well, why would anything be different about this whole process...

 

[BHD2012]

No, rhat is just the last stage we have means to track until shipped.

I believe from tear tag there is still at least 1 more "step"... And then there is also the accessories stop if you have things like roof rack, ppf, etc.

Good to know. I have the tow hitch only which I imagine was done as part of the initial build since it involves routing wires.

 

[mintypickleman]

Well the train is still moving in the right direction. With any luck I'll get to the final stop today sometime.

Went on the Chat again this morning - "The vehicle was Received on Ramp 27, in Mira Loma, CA on 9/10/2022. The vehicle is expected to be delivered by 9/17/2022. Once the vehicle has arrived at the Dealership and should be ready for pick-up in a few days. The selling Dealership will be able to provide a specific date and time for delivery."

Awesome! Maybe they'll roll out over the course of the next few days for our build week?

There is hope! I am not a reservation holder so that should mean either its random or you all can expect one as well!

Welp, guess ill he waiting for a while longer…this from the 8/8 group:

Automotive
NS will enact an embargo of all automotive traffic, effective 00:01 Wednesday, September 14.

General Guidelines
· All Automotive origin facilities will close to vehicle in-gates for rail movement, effective 17:00 Tuesday, September 13.

· Customers with eastbound interline shipments should contact the originating rail carrier regarding guidelines for the acceptance of traffic at origin.

· Until further notice, out-gates will remain open at all NS Automotive facilities during normal business hours for car haul carriers to pick up vehicles.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this issue. Your Norfolk Southern representative will be available should you have any questions.
