I understand there’s a way to confirm current status for Rail shipment but is there a way to confirm total route path to arrive?

I haven't seen anything, but I'd be curious to know this as well. Your dealership is probably the best source for this information, but I've been trying not to bug mine. BNSF runs to Des Moines where my dealer is located, but the CSX hotline says my rail care was released to the customer in Omaha. Now, Omaha is only about a 2 hour drive from Des Moines, but I still would have expected the rail car to get as close as possible before being unloaded. Hoping it shows up at the dealership today or tomorrow and I can stop worrying about it haha.

Just checked both trackers and it has finally shipped, built since 3/1 and only has to make it to Columbus Ohio. We will see how long that takes.

I believe cars can only be unloaded from the rail cars at special automotive facilities designed for this. here is a map of all of the BNSF auto facilities.

Union Pacific has their own. there could be others.
here's a video I found showing cars being unloaded:






Below is a Union Pacific link with some information on how it all work.

Awesome, thanks for sharing! That map does show that Omaha is the closest automotive facility, so that makes sense. And thanks for the video, that is cool to see. I guess I'll just go back to checking palsapp once an hour then until I hear from my dealer.

Would love to see map like that for CSX

googling I found this:

I'm searching to see if there is one that has the automotive loading sites labled.

 

[SoCalG]

and here it is..... automotive facilities marked with yellow dots on this map:

My guess is Lawrenceville GA would be the closest to you

800 number says it departed Cayce SC and will be “placed” in Dixiana (W Columbia) SC 3/13. If I’m guessing placed means dropped off? Assume it would mean that it then gets transported by flatbed down to Savannah which is about 2.45 hrs south?

After being placed, the railcar gets unloaded and waits for a transport to your dealer. Is your dealer in Savanah?

Yes

 

[Bmadda]

Yes

Are you showing "shipped" now on tracker? I'm still showing "in production" but I tried Palsapp again and it actually finds my VIN! Still pending and destination "null", but at least a bill of lading has been generated!
