A very kind rail car "mate" (same production date, same ship date) has tracked the train to Wenatchee. Train left Michigan on 9/22 and arrived in Wenatchee. Its been sitting there for most of the day...

Getting conflicting info on where they unload the rail cars, All of my research *aka googling* shows that they should be unloaded in Renton at the

Orillia Vehicle Facility
3801 Oakesdale Ave SW
Renton, WA 98055


Is that accurate? The ETA delivery date is 10/18 to 10/24... I am hoping that I don't have to wait two agonizing weeks for the Bronco to be trucked from Renton to Kirkland!!

Happy it is getting close! Thankful that I will be an early delivery for this area.

They can't load/unload anywhere. The BNSF auto facilities are in Spokane and Orillia. Wait for me! I should catch up tomorrow. Currently in western Montana.

My Bronco is setting on the same train. My Sales person has told me my Bronco will be off loaded at Vancouver and loaded on a Truck to Ashland Oregon. I started tracking my Bronco since I received the Rail Car number September 28 when it was in Barstow ILL.
My guess is they are a little backed up since the Amtrac derailment killing 3 people near Joplin Mt. The rail line was closed for 2 or 3 days for a investigation on the cause. Any concrete info is always appreciated. :cool:

I just noticed this thread now

Yeah the train is still sitting here.

Though it's a little after 9 pm and I just heard the train horns going off, so it's either heading out, or that's the train it was waiting for, Amtrak, since they have a stop in Wenatchee.

I'm pretty sure the 4Dr Big Bend my local dealer is waiting for is also on it.

I just called and the train car has departed cashmere so I don’t think my dealer knew what he was talking about when he said they got unloaded in Wenatchee which seemed odd to me…
Edit: the train car was there all day so I guess they could have unloaded something but I’m going to keep tracking it

I just looked at the legend on the BNSF map the only car facilities in wa are Spokane, Orilla(Tukwila), and Tacoma. I shouldn’t have listened to my dealer sorry for the earlier misinformation
