After 569 days it has arrived.

It’s so damn dark here. We get like 8 min of sunlight.

Damn! I should have gone with Cactus Gray! ...but seriously...

Yes I just got my rail car number today.

In other news, I got a follow up email from the Ford rep yesterday that simply said, good news, your order has shipped. ETA to the dealership is Dec. 11th. Thanks bud...I've known that for over a week now.

This happened to me on Monday. The Ford rep emailed me to say it was still in transit and there had been some kind of delay. Ummm...yeah like that bad order railcar for 6 days?!? Thanks for all the help there.

One more at home finally!!
Pick her up today and the wife loves her. It was worth the wait, and I can't wait until next week to get her in shop for all the add-ons. Counted out of the 54 or so using the spreadsheet we have 13 still on the loose. Hope they get home soon.

Bahahahaha that’s the second time someone got me with that one. I had it coming for sure! I still say it in my head every time I see another color on the road. I stopped saying it out loud because it annoys my wife and I annoy her plenty already.

where’s @CTownPride with his update?

Our train car departed Minnesota this morning, it's on the move after going from Illinois to Indiana then back to Illinois!

Going through Kansas has been slow since Friday morning. My railcar is currently in Wichita and has been since yesterday. Funny thing though, I'm half way between Wichita and OKC so it's as close now as it will be when it makes it to OKC.

Our rail car is traveling through North Dakota right now. Slowly making its way west.

Once it gets to Chicago, do I keep calling CSX for updates or switch to UP? Trying to keep tabs on my Bronco as it travels to Dallas.

Stay with CSX mine switched to BNSF and I was able to track it the whole way with the CSX number

This! I tried tracking with BNSF once ours switched over to it from CSX and we get way more information from CSX.

I'm on UP. I generally call CSX as it gives better updates when it's moving. If it sits still for awhile, I'll call UP also and will occasionally get an update at switching terminals that doesn't show on CSX.

Thanks everyone. I haven‘t checked since Friday after it got to Chicago on the 1st. I‘ll stick with CSX.

Ive tried getting a update from the rail company but I keep getting the message of "no status". Anyone else receiving this?
