Currently stalking west-bound routes out of the Ohio ICTF rail hub via livestream, in hopes of seeing my Bronco pass through... what has happened to me???

This is awesome.. we all need hobbies..
I have been working on a cleaner looking map.
Maybe we will start heading south today :-(

My expectation is tomorrow morning, next update will be arrive Chicago, Illinois.

That’s awesome. Ours should go all the way together and get dumped at the alliance hub. Yours should be delivered first as that is closer to Sherman than it is Weatherford. Also our cars are now @ Blue Island, IL

I just checked mine again. Looks like I might be a day behind ya. I thought I had arrived in Chicago but I’m still listed as in route.

Share your new map link please.
I need more stalking time.

This should be specific to Norfolk Southern but you can add layers for the various rail lines. I’m not saying I contemplated signing up for a free trial but I’m not saying I didn’t…

So, I love the stickers, patches and mugs but I would love to be able to know a Bronco is one of ours from the outside! Anyone on board with a car magnet with the amazing @Jazer design below? Thinking $12-$15 dollars a magnet (including shipping).

Love this idea, especially if we could get them reflective white & black, so they're all the easier to spot... wherever we end up finding enough steel to stick them to.

Looking now.. it has to be better then Google Maps Bicycle trails.
I have determined that is about the speed and route these choo-choo s are taking.

My dealer. I sent the GM a text and he happily looked it up for me.

Thanks - tried

Id buy them!

Of course my screen protector came in already and my front plate holder / bracket are supposed to be coming in later today.

Saturday afternoon update:
some progress via rail
still heading mostly west but looks to be inbound for Kansas City.
then probably Wichita then a southern route.

You can try, but probably won't learn anything, tbh. I'm in the same situation, but 1/7 blend. A call to the line didn't tell me anything, unfortunately.

My husband called last week (yes antsy) and he was told she was built but sitting there-that’s it, no other info they had. No movement on any of the trackers still. 1/5 blend stuck in production since 1/7.

 

[nfearno34]

Day 8 - no change. Still hopeful for a stealth ship Monday or Tuesday and an arrival next week.

Same. I’ve planned a trip to storm MAP but I’ve been told that’s not a “great plan”……so I impatiently stalk the non-moving trackers. I feel like I’m stuck in a midwest vortex of NO UPDATES!!

Well I got this from ford today, too:

like almost all of you, the bronco sport interests me not at all lol. However I need another vehicle for my kids to drive. When it is looked at in that context and compared against other crossovers in its class, it’s actually surprisingly competitive. Good mileage, safe,with Fords copilot system. And for kids it looks great. Plus I will have matching OBX’s! I can tell you I have no interest in tracking this one. When it gets here it gets here lol.

my kids are spoiled. They have no idea the shit boxes we drove around in when we were in high school!

That's great! Nothing wrong with the baby Bronco. For what it is, it's great for its class! I don't really understand why they named it a Bronco since it's a totally different platform and design, however I still point them out to my kids whenever we see one out! Lol.

I just have to say how much I appreciate the abundance of information in our spreadsheet. I'm going through older build groups from November and December in attempts to find someone local to my area to message about their train route (if they tracked it). Most of the other spreadsheets are lacking important information that could be used to understand patterns and information to make a variety of connections. Ours is also kept up on and repaired often due to it constantly being molested. I'm grateful for all the work that has and continues to be done for our page. That is all, carry on.

This made me chuckle, I use that term a lot in the IT Industry.
I also threaten to break fingers a lot.

I do agree, the effort put in by much of this group has made this whole experience so much better that it could have been. We have become a family unit, albeit dysfunctional at times.
