I am 99.9999% sure that means your bronco has been unloaded from the rail car and ready to put on truck to dealership.

Logically speaking after the vehicle is unloaded it should follow the same route in reverse. This morning I believe my suspicion was confirmed.

Arrived in Greenwood, SC on Jan 16 11:08AM ->
Departed for Cayce, SC on Jan 17 9:35AM ->
Arrived in Cayce, SC on Jan 17 4:15PM ->
Constructively placed in Cayce, SC on Jan 17 6:00PM
Placed in Industry in Cayce, SC on Jan 18 1:00AM
Empty - Has had waybill data reported – Jan 19 12:55PM

Yesterday I talked to my dealer and he said it's ready to be loaded on truck to dealership - he is working with rail yard and United Road to schedule and are shooting for today but couldn't guarantee.

Now the rail car is returning using the same transport path in reverse
Empty - Arrived in Cayce, SC on Jan 19 9:13PM
Empty - Departed for Greenwood, SC on Jan 21 6:33AM

imo the keywords are "empty" which means exactly what you think - its empty so bronco was unloaded, and "waybill" which again is what you think - the shipping document from rail yard that will be given to truck driver telling where to deliver.

i would reach out to your dealer asap to call rail yard.

I am not confident mine will be delivered today mostly because my dealer didn't sound confident yesterday and my EDD changed from 1/26 to 1/29 this morning.

Also want to add based on other threads and talking to my dealer it sounds like the time it takes from offloaded from railcar -> loaded on truck depends on "who the dealer knows at the rail yard" and "how may favors they are owed". Basically its complete a shit show - if there's a process its definitely not being followed ie first in first out . No data to substantiate - just a guess.

So this does seem logical. So is it safe to say I will get no further updates when a truck picks it up?

@pr0xy so I am interested in why yours was placed in industry in Cayce and mine in Dixiana. What does this MEAN?!!! Lol

 

[Cszmom]

A distraction for those of us still waiting..... explain your user icon. Is it an actual image of you? Some inside joke? Some I get and some I just constantly wonder about and it bugs me . Mine is obviously of my soon to be picked up truck, lol (like that needed explaining). Okay, go.......

Mine is my 7 1/2 year old Rottie, my last baby.

What? Who said anything about shipping them to california?

Who in their right mind would ship the trucks out to California for a microchip?!

I think this is just some crazy rumor. AFAIK... Bs just wait at MAP til complete. It'd make NO sense to ship thousands of cars elsewhere like that.

It was shared in this group and others. It was an email from the dealership contact. I agree it’s a dumb idea but somebody on here also stated their bronco was in California when they tracked it and that was not it’s delivery destination. I hope it’s total bs but it is possible. This is Ford we’re talking about….

Yeah. That's me. Not that you'd recognize me in real life on account of my glasses...

How tall are you? You make that thing look small…

 

[knownhuman]

I'm 6'5.

I know everyone on the internet says they're 6'5, but if they can't tell you where to buy pants or that they need a Bronco so they fit in it... they're not really 6'5

And here I will still look small next to my non-sasquatch Bronco, haha.

Damn dude. Is it comfy for you? I’d figure tall people would feel cramped in anything that wasn’t an F-150 or expedition…

It's super roomy. The steering wheel is almost too far away. And there's a ton of headroom, which is not something I have been able to say in most cars.

Awesome. Good to know. Beautiful looking ride! I’m only 5’10” so It sounds like my Wildtrak is going to make me feel very small…

This is one of the main reasons I preferred the Bronco over the Wrangler. In the Wrangler, the back of my head touches the front of the roll bar since it's behind the driver and passenger seat. I'm 6'7" so most people won't have this issue though lol.

Looking at my notes I only got Dixiana once.

Because Cayce/Dixiana are so close I wouldn't expect departed/arrived messages from CSX but I could be wrong.

I can say once you hear "Empty - Has had waybill data reported" you are good to go and should call dealer asap. Its very likely you will always have more up-to-date information because dealers typically call once a day to get status vs us who call every 15min.

I'm 6'4 and I noticed the same thing last night about the steering wheel. I was looking for a way to pull it to me. The head room is nuts, man could wear a 10 gallon cowboy hat and still fit in it fine. Would it kill you to smile, I mean come on man you got your Bronco.
One thing I do not like, is the fact that the seats are not power and don't have memory. My wife is 5'8, and she hates that she will have fix the mirrors, and seats now when I drive. In the Armada she could hit a button and everything move back for her. I know if it's a "off road" vechicle, but you get used to the bougie things in life.

My wife is that tall. I'll try and get her feedback today.
