Hmmmm, I wondered about this also. I'm hoping that does mean that ours will at least get unloaded and a truck can pick it up. Otherwise, they are soooo close, yet soooo far away. I called this morning just to see if it said anything different and it still gives the location it was at yesterday at 2pm. So it is in KC, but I don't know if it is off the train or not. Hoping they will get a truck over there soon and get them picked up before they sit in KC for who knows how long.

Nobody is on strike yet so they should still be working.

Not to get political but I interpret some of this to be more of a precursor to a lockout by the rail companies.

I agree, this is also my thoughts. Fingers crossed we get ours moved before Friday.

Here are the instructions for the telephone tracking of NS rail cars.

Automotive Shipping Norfolk Southern

After the prompt, enter the four digit numeric values representing the 4 alpha character part of the car number
After the prompt, enter your car number
Select 1 after the prompt if you input everything correctly

Thanks.

So I called and it said there was no tracing information. Does that mean it hasn't left the plant yet?

Dudes! It's on its way!

Congratulations. I wish I could say the same about mine. I was hoping that since we are both AZ bound that mine would also so as shipped today. No such luck so far. No email and tracker still shows awaiting shipping for me.

Thanks! The Ford Tracker shows shipped, though Order track shows "awaiting shipment" still.

If N.S. has the railcar in their control then you will get information on where that car is. Either the car number is incorrect or that railcar is currently on a different rail line (UP, BNSF, etc.) than N.S.

I would think even with the impending rail strike/lockout you would still get the railcar location even if it isn't moving anywhere. I don't think they would stop providing that information.

Unfortunately all of the trackers still show awaiting shipment for me and Ford Chat still also shows awaiting shipping.

Just called N.S. and my car has updated so I trust that my Bronco has been unloaded. It says something like "RMTY Bill nix center Missouri: 1:12pm 9/14/2022.

I tried to contact Ford Chat but they must be overloaded.

Hmmm better call about mine. This morning it still said the same as yesterday......

Just checked in with Ford Chat and still cannot confirm my Bronco is unloaded from the damn railcar. I think it is unloaded but I don't know for sure.

My car only updated an hour and 40 minutes ago (1:12 pm). If your car has a different timing then that probably means they have disconnected the cars and are unloading them.

I just called and received the same information, except mine was overloaded at 3:31pm. So I must be a few cars behind you. Now just to wait on a truck.....
