Final Delivery from Rail yard

[Rose]

My Bronco arrived at the rail yard in East Brookfield, MA on April 3 or 4th. My dealer is still waiting for it to get to him. What’s taking so long?!?

They typically have to wait until there’s a full load on the delivery truck heading in their direction. Mine took about 10 days to get from the rail yard to the dealer which was only about an hour drive.

How long did it take to get there by rail from Flat Rock?

It was in Selkirk, NY on 4/1. I don't my old screen shots. I think it was shipped from Michigan on 3/31. So 3-4 days?

Wow! That seems really fast/efficient compared to some of the post I have read. I have heard stories about weeks/month.

yes, but then it sat in the rail yard for 2 weeks.

Yikes! I guess for many that is the biggest hold up, from rail yard to dealer. I am still a few weeks away from Build. However, I am guessing they will use the OKC rail yard to deliver & then onto dealership 150 miles away.

You're at the mercy of the rail company (less so) and the car hauler company (more so). I just went through this on my new F350, it was loaded on a rail car about a day after it was built, but the rail car sat a couple days until it and several others were ready to head toward me. It sat another day in a different switch yard before it moved to to the final unload yard. I was fortunate - once it hit that yard, it was unloaded and put on a truck almost immediately, and that truck pulled out that night. My salesman did say, though, that it could take a few days, depending on how quick it gets unloaded from the train and when a full load was headed this direction. So that 150 miles could take a week, depending.

Yep.... I guess an expectation for a month from build date.... more or less.

My dealer told me a week to ten days from build, but I'm in the Detroit area.

You are in their backyard. That should make for a quick transfer.

Yeah your issue is likely that they only have so many transport trucks to move them around. Being in Detroit for a Bronco, it should be quicker than that.
