I called today and I am currently in Willard, OH. Says that I will get to Chicago, IL on December 24th. Ford gave me a 1/7-1/13 arrival at Granger, but hopefully it will be before, and we will be on the same train!!Thanks SO much for this info! @scottfwalter, myself and others have been at "clearing" Chicago for several days. The message I get from CSX (rail car UP 801057) is that the "load has been delivered in Chicago Clearing on Dec 18 and there's no ETA available." Not sure how to see the other steps you listed, but it looks like we've got several stops over the next two weeks before reaching Granger. Thanks again... maybe now I can scale back my calls to the automated line to just five per day.![]()
Got an update. My car went from Willard, Ohio to Chicago Clearing and is now reportedly in Gibson, Indiana. Maybe the route has changed? Who knows... at least it's on the move. Better yet, temps in Granger look like they'll be creeping up to a balmy 40 degrees in the next week or so! Thanks again for posting your route. It's beyond helpful!Unless they have changed, Illinois isn’t the last rail yard, Omaha is. After Chicago mine went back to Indiana, then on to Missouri, Kansas, then to the final rail rail yard in Omaha, Nebraska. That is where convoy picked up. Mine took about 10 days from Chicago to Omaha. And then a few days for convoy.
But who knows, there may be a different route in play. Hopefully they take a Christmas short cut!

Now I'm getting excited! I called CSX today and my car is in Gibson, Indiana! Looks like @scottfwalter @BroncoAbe and I will have our rigs delivered to Granger soon! Thanks so much for the info... 10/31 Build Week Group ROCKS!Granger was great. I did the paperwork mostly online and with a short test drive and trade in and I was in and out in about 40 minutes. As for your question in the rail, I messaged Ford chat after it was delayed and they told me it was somewhere in Indiana, I forget the last stop. Then they told me another 10 days or so for delivery. It arrived at Granger the next day….

Picking up tomorrow! Dealer needed a day for the wire transfer to clear. Had Ford actually let me know they were getting close to shipping, I would have submitted it yesterday...Well looks like you'll get yours before me now, congrats!

OMG! CONGRATS! I think between your screen name and my naming my Great Danes "Chaos" and "Havoc" you and I may have learned a thing or two about names and their self-fulfilling prophesies. Glad you're finally getting your Bronco!![]()
