Shipping By Rail ETA accuracy

[Thekev87]

Got my email today that my bronco has shipped. I'm trying to get an idea of the timing. It is being shipped by rail to South Jersey. Shipped date is 10/20. My trackers say delivery between 11/5 and 11/11. Talked to my dealer and he said his stuff reads my bronco is at the railyard in MI with a 11/11 to 11/18 delivery estimate, but also noted that it could be an inaccurate estimate

People who have taken delivery by rail...how did your delivery date compare to your ETA?

Depends on where you live. My Bronco has been sitting at the railhead in KC for 12 days now, I'm 2 days over my estimated shipping window. They have a huge backlog of vehicles up there because there is a shortage in transport truckers. My dealership has been waiting on an FE that has been stuck up there for 4 weeks now (it's an abandoned order so I guess they don't have a customer beating them up about it, not sure what that did for the priority shipping....).

I'm starting to think I may never see my Bronco........

Mine arrived about 3 weeks early. But there was at least one other Bronco for that dealership that got left at the rail yard for a week longer than mine. They get theirs today.

As stated above. The hold up often seems to be getting them from the rail yard to the dealership due to transport shortage.

Took 15 days to get from MI to AZ via rail. Been sitting at the rail yard 3-4 days now as well.

I was quoted a delivery of 10/29 - 11/02.

My est. shipping was 20 days, it took 24. 4 of those days in railyard waiting for transport.

At my dealer 4 days earlier than the estimate from Ford.

I think things are going decently at the railyards in the Philly area from what I've heard, where it would be dropped off. Just a matter of timing to get there from Michigan I think

From what I was told, the rail yard is not first in- first out. My Bronco came into the dealer 3 days early and at the same time with another Bronco that had been in the rail yard a week longer.
