Yessir!! Just called and looks like we departed Crisfield, KS earlier. Definitely feel the excitement getting stronger now that we're passed the halfway point! Choo choos finally putting in work! I know my final destination is the El Mirage, AZ BNSF auto distribution center and then from there it gets trucked to my dealer. Hoping that yard is pretty efficient at coordinating with the trucking companies. Any idea what your final destination is @JimCA?

Woo hoo! @LightningLou I am guessing somewhere near LA as the tracks seem to go inland and north from there, then a 2 hour truck drive up the coast. So glad there is finally real shipping progress!

Mine did the same thing...ended up okay but had me worried for more than a moment I was going to see ADM $'s.

I did find out something though...my bank was setting up a wire transfer and my salesman called to tell me a wire had to clear 10 days before I could drive off. I talked to the bank and now they are cutting a bank check instead...Monday pick up set up now !!!

Same here and glad to hear it all worked out for you! Also good info on the wire transfer, check it is!

Simply Amazing...... My Bronco left the MAP on 10/9 and finally made it to Kansas City about a 1/3 of the way it needs to travel west. I said yay... progress... It sat there for almost 3 days. Now just tracked it and it's headed east on the same route back in the direction of Chicago. No wonder the rail costs are up when they ship rail cars back where they came from. vs where they need to go. This will not be fun tracking it backwards of what/where it came from.

It’s possible it already dropped off the vehicle and you’re tracking an empty rail car.

Railcar is empty for me as of midnight. No more train tracking for me... until the next order.

Well yesterday it left KC and back toward Chicago then in Galesburg headed north and is now in La Crosse, WI. Best I can figure they sent it to KC by mistake and re-directed it to Minneapolis to take the north route to Montana. I am 99.9% sure it is not empty as it needs to get to the auto rail head in Laurel, MT before they unload it. Maybe that's how they get stuff to Montana.... if they do.... not efficient at all. Fingers crossed it keeps moving and beats the potential rail strike that may or may not happen.

Moving right along! Glad for the good news and that it didn’t go back to Chicago!

My dealer sent me this update a couple of days ago.

Last email from Ford concerning delivery time: "Our current estimate for delivery to the Ford dealer is between October 22, 2022 and October 28, 2022

The Rail car left Texas this morning; it is a odd route to get the Oakland, CA yard. I wonder why Union Pacific didn't pick up the rail car; that route would would have a direct route west from Illinois railyard.

Picked mine up today in Texas.
