Hey everyone. I was searching different groups and came across this one. Just curious on how long it took y’all Broncos to get down here once it was built and shipped. I’m a 1/28 blend and it was built 2/9 and supposedly shipped in 2/17. Since then it’s been radio silence and I’m getting antsy. The only info I have is a rail car that still has no tracking info and an EDD that started at 3/2 then 3/8 now 3/16.

Welcome to the group! What part of LA are you in?

It took mine around a month to get to Bossier City via rail after the ship date. It’s excruciating to wait for that! Mine also sat at the rail yard for almost a week once it got here.

I’m in Houma. So I’m a little further down. It will be 4 weeks since my ship date Thursday and you are right. It’s almost torture. 😂

Same with me except it was during the holidays Thanksgiving and Christmas sat at the rail yard for almost a month, then when it showed up to the dealership it had damage to the front end during Transit on the train they had to fix.... So it's sat at the dealership another month.
Definitely a pain in the ass! But when we finally got it it's been awesome.
I think the dealership can ask for priority movement if they reach out to the rail yard

Yea I’m not too worried about it once it gets to New Orleans. Our dealership usually has pick ups once a week of there is anything there. But I have been hearing about damages happening in transit. Praying that doesn’t happen. I’m just ready to have a vehicle and tired of sharing/borrowing.

@Jpna220 I think dealership would have told you something by now if it was damaged, it's probably just rail yard it's short-handed

It hasn’t made it to New Orleans yet. It’s still in transit somewhere between Michigan and New Orleans.

@Jpna220 you need to set up an account with TRX or whatever rail line they're using, you can get the rail car number from the dealership... You should be able to track it

I have tried with both CSX and NS. There isn’t any tracking available. I do have the trucking company that shows it’s just waiting for it to get to the Rail Yard in New Orleans. Sometimes I wonder if it’s still sitting at the plant waiting for a full car or if it was put in a different car and taking a world tour. Who knows at this point and Ford is no help. I was just hoping that others who have gotten their vehicle in basically the same area could give me a frame of reference as far as time goes. I do appreciate the help though.

@Jpna220 there is a CSX tracking phone number. If your rail car is in their network, you can call it and it’ll give you an automated location update! Try 1-800-235-2352. Choose the location option when prompted, not weight.

I have done that and it says that it was released to the customer in Toledo Ohio in August. And Norfolk Southern said no tracing information. 🤷🏼‍♀️ At this point it’s a wait and see but it’s just frustrating.

Did you every get the Bronco delivered? Wondering what the shipping time is also, although mine is only scheduled for production in May.

Nope. It makes 6 weeks tomorrow it’s been shipped. Right now my EDD is 4/9.
