Ours left MO today as well, St. Louis to be exact. The problem is that it needs to come back to IL!! This thing has circled our location for the last couple of days, I keep thinking I spot it every time I see a train

According to the location of my rail car yesterday, it went into “interchange” in Illinois. I guess this is what you’re talking about? I couldn’t make out the city that was said, but I told my husband it sounds like a big deal. I told him I’d expect it to make its way to Texas soon, now. Who knows?

I called Jordan and they didn't give me any tracking info.
Email from Furd said mine was shipped Monday the 24th, and should arrive the 5th-11th. Kid at Jordan said the 11th. I think mine is on the train behind yours.

Whaaaat?! The salesman doesn’t have the info, but he can CERTAINLY get the rail car info for you from their freight person or whatever they are called. Lol. My salesman had mine to me in less than five minutes from when I asked! He thinks it’ll be here by Thursday. You are certainly right behind!

Don’t feel neglected, I’m in the states and I got nothing as well!

SOMFL!!!

Well I been a behind most of my life.
I think the salesman is pissed because I'm trying to hold them to "The price will be the same as what you ordered", even after they took off $960 worth of options (tow, roof racks), and the window sticker is $2500 higher than the build sheet I got in Sep 21.
This is the THIRD Ford I've ordered, going back to 1984, and has been one horrifying experience.

Just got an update from the hotline of “departed Missouri” today on the UP! My salesman said (I know, “drink”) that he wouldn’t be surprised if it was at the dealership by November 4th! It’s pretty quick once it’s on the UP, and the rail yard is only 10 miles from the dealership!

I got some bolt cutters...we could go over to the Kirby rail yard...

Dang it. I wonder if your salesman has addressed your “price at time of order” with the GM. He’s ultimately the one who decides, not your salesman. Don’t give up hope; I’m not either! It’s something we’ll have to discuss once we are there in person. Things can work out just as they should.

My rail car was in Kansas City (the destination) and now reports that is is in Illinois. I have to assume that the car was unloaded and the train car has picked up new cargo and moved on. Maybe yours is off loaded and waiting for convoy?

I checked this morning and it said it was in Wentzville MO "ground only". I know Wentzville is where mine should get off according to my salesman, and I assume "ground only" means it's waiting for transport pick up. Our estimated delivery is Nov 9-15. I could push it home quicker than that.....

so far my train has gone from Wayne, MI to Walbridge, OH, then to Blue Island, IL, and now it's in Gibson County, Indiana. Telephone trace still says final destination 11-1 so hopefully that damn thing comes west today!

Ford chat once again not forthcoming with any rail info. Dealer per usual has not gotten back to me

 

[mrjking2000]

well the update on my railcar this morning is "departed gibson IHB" 10-31 6 AM central. ETA to destination now updated to 11-4 (originally 11-1). hopefully no more stops along the way. this ping-ponging around the great lakes area since it shipped on the 23rd has been very annoying lol!

 

[70&22bronco]

Latest update on my railcar is “departed Bay City (?), TX on 10/31!!!” If so, that’s very close! Not only is it IN Texas, but it’s in the area! I think it might be at my dealer before the 11-4 date my salesman said!

I’m at the dealership picking her up now! Pics to follow!!
