Is Ford having a problem with shipping using the rail lines too?

[Seacat]

My Bronco has been sitting on a rail car at the Ford rail spur since 4-15. Someone was nice enough to activate my Ford Pass on 4-13 so I saw it get move to the railcar, but it has not moved since. Is Ford having trouble with the rail lines? Why would it be sitting in a railcar not moving for 2 1/2 weeks? Is this what's causing the unknown plant holds I have been hearing about?

still needs a convoy at the railyard. there are threads about it, some locations don't have drivers to move from rail > convoy to dealer.

It's sitting on the rail car at Fords plant, not in Denver. So you think the rail lines are not picking up the cars because they won't be able to drop them at their destination, Denver?

Ah. the rail car. Probably the most frustrating part of the whole process.

The rail system is majorly jacked up. We move containers for the Port of LA and Long Beach to Michigan. The rail normally take 6-7 days. We are now seeing 4-5 weeks as the norm.

Sample size of one, but my rail car made it from MAP on 10th of April (three days after the Shipped email) to the Pearland, TX railyard on the 19th. That part was refreshingly quick, but unfortunately the story ends there, it has sat in Pearland since then, dealership doesn't have an ETA.

I'm in a similar situation. My Bronco left Michigan on 4/5 and was unloaded on 4/19 in a massive vehicle staging lot here in the SF bay area. Been sitting there for two weeks now awaiting a truck to haul it 20 miles to my dealer. Dealer says there is not a thing they can do about it.

Yes, I've contemplated busting it out of the lot!
