Yeah it really could be. As of this afternoon the CSX reported the car as empty and released. So at least it sounds like it’s been unloaded. Another hurdle passed!
Which is good because I just got home from dropping the Atlas off at carmax hah!
Hello...hello....hello (echoes).
For those of you who are keeping score (and since I have nothing better to do) I'm still waiting.
Dealer knows nothing except for what Ford says, which is a delivery estimate of 12/10-12/16 which makes zero sense since the car shipped 11/11 and has been in Tampa...
Yeah I'm hoping this week. I know these things take time. And I surely can't complain knowing the challenges others have had to, and in some cases are STILL going through to get theirs.
I was just hoping to surprise my wife with it this week before she goes out of town on Friday.
Also have a...
Can't wait to tell you my thoughts...but I still need to get it first! Lol.
It has supposedly been here in Tampa since LAST Monday.
CSX said the car was going to be placed today though...but that was a couple days ago. Now when I call, there is no info on that car.
So the wait continues!
It won't. Hit up Ford chat.

Just ask them for a shipping status and they should give you rail car #.
If they don't, just ask for it.
Then, call CSX: 1-800-235-2352. It is automated.
First prompt you will ask if you want location, or weight I think, and you will...
Have you tracked the rail car>
Mine shipped 11/11 and had an ETA of like 11/18-11/24 or something like that which I knew was impossible.
I got the same email you did on 11/16 with a new ETA of 12/10-12/16.
However I tracked the rail car every day and it has been in the rail yard at its final...
Getting close! Left Jacksonville for its final destination this AM. Should be here tomorrow! Still not sure I'll be able to get it this week, being a holiday week...but we'll see.
Who else is still waiting with me? hah.
Checked on mine today and it was in Atlanta as of this AM. Scheduled to be in Tampa on Monday the 21st. I was initially hoping to have it before thanksgiving. But then my CSX ETA was 11/23 so I figured oh well, probably by the end of the month. But now that it got bumped up slightly I'm back to...
Swung by the dealer this morning to order some rear seat covers for my sloppy kids in car seats, see if they had VinView, and to actually just see a Bronco close up. Till today, I had never been in one! It was nice! Definitely smaller than the Atlas that it is replacing, but that's ok.
Anyway...
Hah you might be right. I was too young to really know what was going on.
All I know is that I always thought it would be funny to have a white 2 door Bronco with the license plate "N0T0J"
That's my plan! The only reason I reached out to Ford was just to see what they had to say.
I'm stopping by the dealer tomorrow anyway and I'll also see if they have that VinView thing...not sure if that is any better than what Ford Chat looks at.
Understood! I have good reason to believe that Ford chat is just wrong. After reading about people who's car showed up without them, or the dealer even knowing...it further solidifies that.
I would trust CSX more than Ford at this point. I just don't understand why they would tell me its in...
