Just got home and checked the back door tracker not expecting to see anything new but saw I am shipped! My bronco was built on 9/30.

My Bronco shipped last Thursday and my dealer confirmed that the railcar reached Conway, PA on Saturday, but Ford Chat says that it is still sitting at MAP. Apparently their computer system is very slow to update the current status.

@BRDDOGN well, my dealer just texted me and said that my Bronco (2D, Badlands, Non-S, LUX) is officially showing in Petersburg Auto Yard and can be picked up. It has taken three weeks from the time it left MAP on a train to make it to Virginia. My salesman said that once he can get the "Yard" to answer the phone he will get it scheduled for pick-up. I sure hope I have the keys in-hand by Thanksgiving!

Edit*** was googling and actually found another thread on this forum where a couple members explained it.
@BobT stated ....
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.
@RagnarKon added...
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.
So maybe this IS a good thing.
SOB... My Chicago ETA kept getting bumped a day, called this morning and I'm in the same boat.
What does "offered up to foreign carrier" mean exactly? Are we saying it's just changing rail companies, are they offering it up to some truck driver?
Mine supposed to be heading to California with it delivery ETA 8n basically 2 weeks. Please tell me we are all not "lost in the mail"?

I wish you the best. Supposedly my dealership spoke with ground transportation today and they have a full load of cars but got push back even though it was marked hot. In short, the dealership was told it’ll get to you when it gets to you. As such, I have no hopes for this week.

Believe it or not, my dealer emailed me first thing this morning before I could do my daily check in with chat! Chat gave me the rail car number. It's currently in Willard, OH
Great news for you!! I have felt a lot better knowing Ford is not in control any longer. Still A slow process but at least moving!

Mine was in Willard yesterday and Cleveland this morning, wrong direction but it still is saying Chicago on the 23rd.
"Thank you for your patience. Your order current status is "Awaiting shipment" this means the manufacturing plant has built the vehicle and it is ready to be picked up and shipped out. Released Ford Michigan Assembly Plant, MI Oct-20-2022. Expected shipping ETA 11/20-11/26. Please note: you will be able to track it here via chat or online: https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking#/."
my rail car was assigned last week. The Blue Island, IL projected date moved from 11/22 to 11/19 after a few days. I'm curious if yours changes once it's on the road... I mean rail.
This morning I called, Cleveland arrival last evening. Now estimating Blue Island 7pm the 23rd. I am hoping it is quicker like yours.

How do you get rail # and how to track it.
