Did it actually go to Arkansas, or did it go through Arkansas City, KS?
Mine went through those same states you mentioned (Arkansas City, KS, not Arkansas, though). It should next go through Oklahoma, then to Texas, if it follows the same route as the train to Alliance Rail Yard in Haslet, TX...
Yes, it's the former. "Gibson" is actually in Hammond, IN, and it's part of the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad (IHB). It's used to classify railcars of new autos into blocks for western destinations. I guess that process is why our railcars stay at Gibson for a couple of days.

Are you bringing her to the North Texas Bronco Club meet up at LSA Burger in the Colony on Sunday? I'll be there with the fam even if I haven't taken delivery yet. (My wife has a Bronco Sport, so we'll still represent, regardless. :D.)
I had stopped calling for CSX updates after my railcar arrived at Alliance, but I just now called. It has a similar update. Empty, released by Customer Jan 10, 9:01 PM.
Funny, I just now received the official Ford email saying my ETA has been updated to those Jan 23 - Jan 29 dates I mentioned yesterday; however, I expect it will actually arrive if not by this weekend, then early next week per my convo with my dealer.
Glad your Bronco made it to the final railyard!
My dealer, Bob Tomes, told me today that it typically takes 4 - 5 days (recently) for the truck to make its way to the front of the pack of vehicles being unloaded at the railyard, then picked up by their transport, and brought to the dealership.
They just got back to me. They said that it typically takes 4 - 5 days (recently) for the truck to make its way to the front of the pack of vehicles being unloaded at the railyard, then picked up by their transport, and brought to the dealership.
Yeah, I don't really trust that ETA. I reached out to my dealer earlier to see what they can tell me on ETA and how their trucking transport process from Alliance to the dealership works.
