The official, my dealer is a tool and won't tell me my rail car number.

Wish I could tell you. Maybe one of the guru types will help you out. I don't have the kind of access to see things like your dealer.

Already handled... No worries... I am still making up the rules as I go along.
I didn't expect to get slammed by so many requests... LOL.
You are added to the list for tomorrow.
I don't know how many I will be able to pull, so please understand that I probably won't have a 100% success rate.

I manage projects for a living. This thread and the way I’ve gotten accurate Bronco information since September 2020 is something Ford should ponder.
I said this about 8 months ago.
Lack of Transparency is not a result Of Covid in any good business model. It is not hard to communicate with a customer who you wish to create a lifelong relationship with. I will continue to feel that way about any business that refuses to just be honest and open with all news, good and bad.
To Fords design team, engineers, parts suppliers, and assembly teams, thank you for your hard work. Please continue to work safe and make great products.

No problem. I show the car scheduled for interchange in Chicago. Do not have an ETA on interchange or routing after interchange.That's what I was able to get... Maybe I typo'd earlier... it was TTGX 973614
Don't sue me, Bro!!!
I can tell you that it was loaded with Teslas before it was loaded with Broncos.
What’s weird is mine is an 11/22 build week. The tracker shows it in production now but no window sticker and oddly enough the dealer texted me two weeks ago saying it was scheduled to be delivered 12/13. How would they even have a delivery date before a window sticker and why does it say in production now but on the same page it says 11/22 build? Is that just a flaw in the page in how ford presents the info? Part of me hopes it’s one of the unicorns that magically shows up without warning from the sites or emails 
My Dealership has been great as well as my Salesman. But....he said he was unsure if he could get that rail car number (or would not take the time to look into it).
That said.....IS IT SAFE TO BE POSTING OUR VIN# ON AN INTERNET FORUM ???

That is for you to decide. It's not hard to get the VIN number for any particular vehicle. Your VIN number is publicly displayed everywhere you go on your vehicle... anytime you park, your VIN number is exposed to anyone who wants it. Hell, given the advancements in Satellite technology, I would be surprised if the damn things can't be read from orbit at this point.
Now, this is not supposed to be the primary way to get your rail car, this is a last resort when your dealer won't help you out. I even provide a number of links up front for people to do their own digging in the first post.
Now regarding VIN numbers:
ALL 2021 Bronco VINs start with either 1FMDE5 or 1FMEE5 (2 doors are always 1FMDE5)
So that takes care the first 6 locations
The 7th location is A, B, C, D, E, or F.
The 8th location is P or H.
The 9th location is 0 - 9 or X.
The 10th-12th locations are MLA or MLB
The last 5 locations are 00000-99999 (with large blocks of numbers excluded)
All two door FE's start with 2XXXX (and near as I can tell less than 1000 were built, so really 20XXX)
All four door FE's start with 4XXXX with 43250 near the highest I have seen.
Almost all production Bronco numbers start with MLA6XXXX-MLA9XXXX or MLB0XXXX.
So really, figuring out a VIN, not that hard. You are at best hiding 5 digits as a unique identifier, potentially a lot less, especially if I know your blend date.
