I’ve never really thought this much about rail commerce and the system that moves things across our country.

I am amazed they can sort these rail cars, the contents and their destinations and keep trains moving along. I am glad things have changed how they used to do it!!!!

Here is the BNSF route map:

My parents had one of those cars in the first pic! I don’t remember what it was though, I was 3.

Chevy Vega maybe? (just dated myself...)

Yes, those are Chevy Vega’s. A short lived experiment in shipping configuration.

I just asked my mom and it was an Opel Manta.

I've been calling the Norfolk Southern speed dial I setup and have gotten these updates:

1/18/24​	Wayne, Michigan
1/19/24​	Oakwood, Michigan
1/20/24​	Bellevue, Ohio
1/22/24​	Portsmouth, Ohio
1/23/24​	Flat Top, VA

The recording said Flat Top, VA but I suspect they meant Flat Top, WV as that appears to be a legit rail yard. No idea how long it will take to get to Raleigh, NC area from this location or how long they stay in a particular yard. I was originally scheduled to be built on 1/12 but it didn't finish until 1/17 due to the MLK holiday.
Anyone else have tracking to NC that followed a similar path?

Mine is at the dealership should be getting it today.

Not NC but my CSX train seemed to stop 1-2 days in multiple locations....and then arrival was a full day later than the original estimate that CSX first gave when I started tracking

Mine left temple Texas at 11 so I’m hoping Houston is next !

Metro Atlanta? Man I still haven't heard anything yet from my dealer.

 

[BDEG Kyle]

Yep. My dealer didn’t call me till this morning to tell me at the dealership. I did call them Friday and they told me sitting at the rail yard in Atlanta. They are also honoring x-plan for me.

Nice, I'm not going to call them to lok thirsty lol. I wish I qualified for xplan, I am a first responder and they previously said I can get the discount.

I too got an update. Went into production in 1/12 and shows built on 01/22. I assume they got a delivery on what ever part was missing on the 12th.
