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

Update to this. I had been calling the CSX tracker because yesterday when I tried the Norfolk Southern tracker it didn't find anything for it. I just tried a bit ago and I got an update that makes sense! It said that it was in Peru, Indiana.

@dougiefresh You might want to try the Norfolk Southern tracker.

I just tried the Norfolk Southern Tracker like you suggested and the update was exactly the same. Departed Friona, Texas.

If you don't follow the above simple rules, rinse, repeat, try again.

FAQ
1. I have limited access and limited time to help, but I will do my best!
2. Feel free to help out
3. Anything that helps make it easier for me to get the list together at the end of the day helps
4. Don't make it harder for me.
5. There are a lot of great links below!

*** The one rail car request rule is for my help only (mpeugeot), only because I really don't have the access to get more information and I am relying on others to help out.


Otherwise, hit this thread up. Either I or someone else will try to answer!!! Hack the planet...

Seriously, we are lucky that a few members of this forum can help with resolving where your Bronco might be. Any request that ends up here is fair game, if you know how to help out, feel free to do so. Sometimes, I get lucky and sometimes I need to ask people who have helped me before.

I don't want anyone to risk their reputations, livelihood, or anything else getting information out there. PLEASE, don't access data that you are not allowed to access or do anything illegal.

Let's work together to help our fellow enthusiasts out!

REMEMBER: VIN and ORDER NUMBER
Post them to the list and do not DM them to me!

Is posting my VIN safe?

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.

Also, if I have your VIN, I can likely get your order number without much hassle either... These things are just publicly available and are not secret (although I know that people would prefer them to be - they just aren't).

VIN: 1fmee5dpxmlb00957
Order: 3219
Railcar: TTGX255091
Shipped: 12/1/21
Expected Delivery: 12/9 - 12/15.

Thanks!

It was one of the trucking links united road my bronco is coming rail but when I typed my vin in it said united road will be picking up the bronco in Delaware when it comes off the rail and taking it to the dealer but every time they deliver something to the dealer I’m getting an email now with a sighned colt from the driver like I’m an employee at the dealership I know I’m not supposed to be getting this stuff and don’t see how to get out of it

OK my Vin is pulling up with United Road.

I called the number @ United Road and got a VM. Does I assume this means it's off the train and onto a truck now?
