Rabbit, I dont think anyone answered your questions. Constructively placed means that the car is parked and waiting to be unloaded. The car will change to "unloaded and released to customer" This is when the vehicles are unloaded.
The fun part is that does not mean the vehicles are put on a car carrier.
My bronco sat on the rail car "constructively placed" for 8 days then changed to "unloaded and released to the customer".
The tracking link did NOT change to final prep till 3 days later. I interpret that to mean my bronco sat in the rail yard waiting for a car carrier 2-3 days. tracking link= link in email from ford. The backdoor link changed too.
Once the status changed to prep, I waited a couple of days to hear from finance. I got no response so I emailed Samantha and she got the ball rolling. Catelyn had my paperwork done in a few hours.
I hope this helps.

Yep. We did. Probably 10 minutes. If you do, make sure you exit on the side where the rental cars and taxis stand is. There’s a sidewalk that you can follow away from the terminal and cross the street to walk along the main road.
The other side is under heavy construction and doesn’t have a sidewalk leading away from the terminal.

So I can just picture you at the computer ripping your hair out over the part where the Bronco is off-loaded from the train, and then don't have a way to track if it is still sitting in the train yard or has been loaded on a truck.
Well, I'm currently taxiing on the connecting flight to Des Moines. I was supposed to get my two Broncos (04/10 4dr BL & 04/17 2dr WT builds) from Granger Ford yesterday/Saturday, but my flight was delayed and then cancelled. So I'm going today/Sunday 5/21 and will pick up tomorrow morning!

If you are looking for some fun places for dinner downtown Des Moines on Sunday night. Fongs Pizza.. best crab ragoon pizza. Or Exile brewing and Pub.. Get a "Ruthie" beer.. fun place. I lived in Des Moines for 60+ years and have seen it grow to what it is today.

Thanks for the tips. I just arrived downtown and am staying at the Hotel Fort Des Moines. We're in search of lunch. So... walking or Uber... IDK...If you are looking for some fun places for dinner downtown Des Moines on Sunday night. Fongs Pizza.. best crab ragoon pizza. Or Exile brewing and Pub.. Get a "Ruthie" beer.. fun place.

For me, this this trip started at 2 am. I had to drive from Laredo, Tx to fly out of San Antonio. If I had tried flying directly from home, I would have been screwed if the airlines cancelled again. Not worth the risk.

Wow!!! you are 4 blocks away from either of those two eateries. The Fort Des Moines is a beautiful place just renovated. Enjoy the City.

ZOMBIE BURGER is on the other side of the river about 8 blocks away. Downtown Des Moines is a safe place . Except for the Downtown Court ave. area.
Anyone shipping to Charlotte area get a notice from their shipping broker that their shipment is double booked? I just did, even though it is not. I am thinking that with all the Broncos coming out of Granger, it may look like that if several are going to the same area. Not sure how granular the notices on the board get with regards to destination.

My Bronco finally arrived at Granger! Who in finance have you guys dealt with, and how long did it take for them to reach out to you to finalize the deal?
Mine arrived last Monday. Still waiting to hear. I reached out via one of the email threads from earlier in this process and they said hopefully I’ll hear by Wednesday but they don’t want to make any promises.
