Have to give a shout out to Citrus Motors Ford for tracking the movement of my Bronco and notifying me without me asking. It was a very nice surprise

Well, only a couple days in Wenatchee! It looks like it made it over Steven's Pass in the Cascades last night. Apparently the trains sometimes have to wait for addition engines to get over the mountains. (The tunnel is at 2900ft) But also there is a limit to the number of trains that can go through the 8 mile tunnel at the top of the pass. There are massive fans and doors that help clear the tunnel from the train's exhaust. I'm learning more about trains than I had ever thought.

Train is currently in Monroe, just west of Seattle. I expect it to head to Orillia near Kent to the autoyard there. I'm also expecting to be surprised/disappointed in the next few days.
Saturday night. Tacoma. Just over 100 miles away. Massive auto yards in Tacoma. My assumption is they will off-load a lot there. Not sure how long it will be there.

Bronco is at the port in Portland. Asked the dealer to work some magic to rescue it. Let’s see what they can do.
She’s so close you can almost smell the motor oil!Bronco is at the port in Portland. Asked the dealer to work some magic to rescue it. Let’s see what they can do.
Happy for you man. Hope your story has inspired others who share in the experience of the wait. You’ve basically laid a roadmap to follow.
Cheers to a smooth transaction with the finance guy.

I received Rail Car number TTGX963490 about a week ago from Ford chat. I called CSX every day but it always just says "No status available". I decided to check with Ford chat just now to make sure the number they gave me was correct and they now say there is no rail car information on record. All they could tell me was it is in transit and due to arrive on February 7th.

I sent these to my finance guy at Damerow (he use to be one of the sales managers). He just laughed. Yeah, they know the sooner they are done with me the better.
Holy Hell - Did you get a drone to take these??? That's awesome.

Mine arrived to the dealer last Wednesday but they are checking in a lot of stock, including my Bronco, so it is going through all their dealer check in process. It's so close I almost don't believe it is real. That said - come on guys it's been 4.5 days! not including Sunday!

Yes, a drone. I have a few hobbies...
I have offered to drive the dealership employees down to the port if needed.
It's been 24 hours and I'm starting to twitch.
If yours is at the dealer then they just need to PDI and take care of you. If I were you I'd go down there and tell them lets close the deal and you find someone to complete the PDI.
So glad to see everyone finally getting movement on their 11/23 builds.... all ive gotten is crickets... and constant push back dates. Heres to hoping sooner rather than later!
