Has anyone verified which rail yard they go to when shipped to Puget Sound area WA? I've seen some mention the BNSF one in Renton and the Union Pacific one in Kent. The tracker saying "arrived in Kent" would suggest the UP one, but I'm seeing a lot of Chevys and GMCs there. Maybe the Fords are buried a bit. The tracker saying BNSF has been pulling it this whole time would suggest Renton, and I saw at least a bunch of Jeeps there, but the fence makes it difficult to find Fords.

I'm sure you can see why I'm conflicted so if anyone knows what their yard was, I'd love to know.

My '22 went to Kent.

Mine was Kent. I was so crazed at the time I drove down to see it thru the fence

Address of the BNSF: 3801 Oakesdale Ave SW, Renton, WA 98057

I'm a bit crazed myself since it rolled in there around 4am this morning and April 5th we leave to visit Ohio for the eclipse and would love to take it with us. This only gives the yard 7 days to get it out of there, very tight...

@mattjrutter

@mattjrutter Yep, that’s where I was. I was able to spot it from markings in my photo from Ford so it was easy to find. Took three days for it to arrive at my dealership but I also was there to watch them unload it there too. (Yes, it was a bit over the top)

Fantastic! The yard is a bit more barren than the other so hoping for a faster turnaround.

@mattjrutter

@mattjrutter call your dealer and tell them to go get it. I was early 21 and they struggled to get truck down there with the COVID nonsense but they can go down anytime and get it. Often they want to fill a truck so they save a bit of money but a nice bottle of Scotch might get it there a few days earlier

Really, have you seen that work? I've seen dealers all over the forums vehemently deny that they have any power over the shipping of those trucks. I've also figured that they don't feel like pushing any harder for a single customer. I do wonder what some Benjamins could accomplish...

Mine came out of the rail yard in Renton/Orilla. I went on my lunch break after waiting for it for 5 days and low and behold watched it pull out of the yard on a hauler

Yesterday I looked around both. The Kent one was looking pretty barren and no rail cars sitting in there. I also couldn't see any Ford vehicles still. At the Renton one, there were some rail cars, but I didn't see ours since I'm sure the graffiti is just on one side and the cars can be brought in side by side. I also didn't see any Fords since the side facing the sidewalk only had Subarus, Jeeps, Chryslers, and Toyotas. The Fords are probably on the other side behind the rail cars

. Here's to hoping I can get more info from my dealer.

Here's the giant graffiti along the side of anyone happens to see it. I got this picture from my work.

Just called the tracker and got a "placed at customer location" status (10:17 pm last night). Maybe now I can find it. I'll take another look today.

I confirmed that none of the cars that I can see at the Kent yard were a part of the train. I took a video of the whole train and wrote down all of the numbers, so none of those numbers are at Kent. Today, I'm going to the Renton yard and seeing if I can find a car number there.
I also got the status today of "Cleared, Released by customer (3/30 9:22pm)" so it sounds like the Bronco should be unloaded from the car and maybe now I can catch a glimpse.
