Dumb question....but does it ever change rail car numbers? Just curious since mine has been sitting in Walbridge, OH since the 16th.

It's my understanding that it shouldn't change cars. It may change rail services depending on it's destination.

If you started out on CSX, however, you should be able to track it all the way to delivery to the rail yard where it'll be trucked to the dealership.

As far as it being in OH for a couple of days, there is a railyard sorting station there. So what's likely happening is they have removed your box car from the first engine and connected it to other cars that will be attached to a second engine.

After a little bit of reading, it seems like they sort cars from around the region there in Ohio and it can take a few days to get them sorted.

Perfect! Thanks for the clarification. I guess I'm getting even more impatient now knowing its on its way!

You’d think we’d be less anxious knowing it’s so close... but no, it’s just as stressful lol

@6SpeedBowtie @bstottlemyer85 No updates from southern WV.

Unfortunately, Same here. Hoping it finds a way to the dealer ahead of the holiday.....

I wonder how much of this is tied to staffing challenges in trucking.

It's almost worse!!

In 2021 you'd think instead of having a phone number to call they would have a UPS like tracking website.

Or even better, like Uber where you can follow your order in live time on a map.

I dunno if @Interstate would stay employed if he had that capability lol.

I wouldn't be able to. Or at least I would take some personal days. I am, however, still trying to figure out if I can stop by MAP and pick my Bronco up. No joke I am contacting Ford and asking them...Still no movement on my Bronco, still says "Awaiting Shipment".

My delivery date was pushed back from 11/21 to 11/28. Still no assembly line photo.

I am not sure about changing cars but mine sat in Walbridge, Ohio from the 15th to the 18th. Finally today it stated it left at 3:16 am to Cincinnati, Ohio.

 

[BuckWildOffRoad]

Mine is currently at the dealer, just can’t leave my wife for that long to go pick her up. They will make it happen so that’s really exciting!

Maybe this is helpful.

A bit of an assumption here, I am tracking mine closely too as I was build 10/7. I got shipped email on the 8th but my modules weren't populated at all yet. But since then I've been comparing my module status and it keeps changing a bit indicating to me that its not on a rail yet. The file also still has some "error" notes in it. Notepad++ allows you to compare the files from one day to the next.

I also believe on your window sticker the Ramp 2 should get populated once actually shipped.

My pizza tracker doesn't have a check mark under shipped though either.

I could be very wrong though too.

Good luck!

As much as this would help Ford get vehicles to customers quicker, I can imagine it would be a logistical nightmare and take a lot of resources to manage properly.

Plus technically it’s the dealerships vehicle, not yours. So maybe they might have better luck trying?

Not trying to be a dick - just pessimistic naturally lol
