He wouldnāt give it to me, so I got someone on here to find it for me since they knew how. Itās TTGX987562Did your dealer give you the actual train car number they can see on the DORA?
So, that must be the wrong car because the system shows it is empty and in storage in Kansas since October. No bueno! I would try someone else at your dealer for the Car Number. Sorry!He wouldnāt give it to me, so I got someone on here to find it for me since they knew how. Itās TTGX987562

If you are going by rail, itās more complicatedā¦
First you will need the rail car letters and numbers. It is on the visibility report or DORA which is from the dealership. You MAY be able to get it from the SVT people but they seem often in a cranky mood and may tell you to get it from the dealer.
There are two major rail companies.
CSX is everything east of the mississippi
UP is everything west of the mississippi
But they all start out on CSX so once they have it in their system they will follow it all the way.
So, how do you track your truck on a railcar?
First and most important. Never talk to live personnel at the railroad! Only use automated phone system. If it attempts to transfer you to a live person please hang up. The railcar information we are provided by is given as a courtesy and if we call live personnel we may lose the access and ability to track.
CSX
1. Call the CSX 1-800-235-2352
2. When prompted for location or weight, press "1" on your phone for location.
3. When prompted for the car initials, say CN (or whatever initials you have) then wait for the next prompt.
4. When prompted for the car number, say 907048 (or whatever your number is)
5. When prompted for next car say DONE.
6. That's it; enjoy your updated status report.

Please let me know if there are any others and I'll add. That way it'll all be in one place!
Or maybe make it a sticky.
Called CSX but you don't need to speak to a live agent. Just use the phone system - hit 1 when they ask you what info you are looking for and then you need to type in your rail car #. They ask for the initials first, TTGX but you would have to type in 81814192, or you could try saying it but it never understands TTGX. Then they ask for car #, so 987552. Then you say done when prompted and then they will give you the update. Happy tracking!Thank you!! Who did you call? CSX?
They are mostly a worthless bunch. Sorry!Yes and thank you. Im going by Rail. Im unable to get my TX#.
That was my issue too. It didnāt understand me. Can I ask where the 81814192# came from?Called CSX but you don't need to speak to a live agent.

the formula for converting your rail car initials to numbers is based on the letters shown on a phoneās keypad. The way to do this is somewhat clunky but each letter becomes two numbers: the first number is the number shown on the keypad for a given letter. The second number is the index (position) of that letter on the number on the phone keypad. Think of it like T9 texting if you remember that ā for example, if the initials were ABCD, you would punch in 21 22 23 31That was my issue too. It didnāt understand me.

Same with mine. Walbridge for 4 days, and now in Cincinnati for one day and counting.I'm on the move. I made it to Cincinnati as of noon on the 4th.
