Shipping question

[ArizonaTy1993]

So after a year and a half that included many production delays, chip holds, and waiting, my Bronco is finally being shipped! Obviously thrilled about it and, as such, I've been tracking the shipping. Things are starting to sounds really weird, but I don't know if I'm missing something...

I am in Arizona and assumed I would be on Union Pacific, but when I checked with chat, they gave me a CSX railcar number. I checked yesterday and it was in Ohio, and when I checked today, the voice command said "Load offered to foreign carrier for interchange - Chicago, Illinois". The "offered to foreign carrier" part was mildly concerning... am I missing something here?

FYI, I tried tracking my Bronco during the shipping process. I called several railyards and didn’t really get anywhere. I found it best to just have some faith and wait for it to arrive at the dealer. Otherwise, you’re just going to be continuously frustrated.

I’m also in Arizona. I believe the main railyard for offloading is somewhere near El Mirage/Surprise.

Foreign railroads are any railroad that the load did not originate with.
The Bronco will remain on the railcar, but will be transferred to Another handling line.

@BobT is correct

CSX handles the rail cars until it gets to one of the major rail interchanges—usually in the Chicagoland or St. Louis area for vehicles manufactured in Michigan. Then it gets transferred to one of the west coast railroads... either BNSF or Union Pacific. Sometimes it'll even be shipped to the west coast via Canda National or Canada Pacific before dropping back down into the United States. But that's very unlikely for something shipped to Arizona.
