So my bronco has been shipped..
Shipped Rail - Railcar # TTGX973797 (Canadian National Railways)
I haven’t seen how to track this railway, anyone have any ideas?

Here's my 2 Door Big Bend. After shipping by rail on 6/13, it finally arrived at my dealership on 7/6 but they warned me there was paint damage to the hood and they couldn't release it until the windshield adhesive recall was performed. On 7/8 I went to pick it up and do all the paperwork- my sales guy was great and everything went smoothly, including credit for price protection.
We inspected my bronco together and found several other things that needed to be fixed, besides the paint chips on the hood, like deep paint scratches on the driver's side sill , an uneven bumper, the passenger door was out of alignment, the passenger seat release lever is broken, and my trunk/cargo cover doesn't sit flush.
So I took it home for the weekend and installed some of my pile of accessories that had been accumulating, then took it back to the dealership on Monday, where they sent it to a body shop to fix the paint, bumper, and door gap. My dealer was great and they even gave me a loaner car since I had traded in my only other vehicle to purchase it. I picked it up Again on 7/15 and did a few more minor modifications over the weekend. I'll have to take it back to the dealer at least once more when they get the parts in to fix my passenger seat lever and cargo floor.
I'm slowing beginning to get attached to my bronco. The process of getting it has left me feeling really burnt out and all my excitement was gone even when I went to pick it up. Driving it around for the last few days has helped, but I find myself waiting for the other shoe to drop, so to speak. Trying to turn my mind frame around and there are still plenty in our group that haven't even seen their broncos in person yet. I hope the saga ends for you all soon, stay strong!

So I WAS pretty sure Miller Ford had contracted the windshield out but there were only 15 miles on the odometer. So they went somewhere very close or did it in-house AND my car wasnt moved around the mountain much. It really must have been in a back corner at MAP.What dealership are you waiting on for the windshield fix? I’m dropping mine off at Winner Ford next week and scheduled pickup for the next morning. There’s no way it should be a 2 week fix, they just needed to confirm their “windshield guy” was available.
Edit: I saw you took delivery, congrats!! Carb Gray is the elite color

I called both numbers given to me to map out my rail. Well, the first one said April 28th, 7:21 PM. I thought maybe my information was exactly that on that date (4-28).
The second one I call this morning and it said it would be in New Orleans by the 21st at 7:00 PM then this afternoon I checked again and it said it will be in IL on the 21st at 7:00 PM. I made sure the letters and numbers were correct. Oh well, it gets here when it gets here.

what rail company did they tell you it was going? mine originated on CSX and then transferred to UP, so i have to assume yours will do the same since you are less than two hours from me. was one of those numbers you called for CSX?

They were CSX.
i tracked mine daily! if you want, DM me your railcar number & i’ll call for you! just to see if i get any different information!
My train is scheduled to be in IL on the 21st as well so maybe that one is correct. Mines headed to Arkansas so it’s possible we are on the same train!

Good to know. My mom and dad were raised outside of Strong, AR. Great state! I was born in El Dorado.
