Gah! The above article specifically speaks about shipping of automotive sector goods and the upcoming possible railway strike. Looks like it may start having an effect on bronco rail shipping on Monday if an agreement is not reached. With a possible strike effecting the entire industry on this coming Wednesday. I personally have been in buit awaiting shipment for 11 days now with an eta of Sept 19 - 25 to North Florida. I am thinking that's gonna slip.

Backdoor tracker has now updated to:
Estimated Delivery 9/20/2022 - 9/26/2022

I'm assuming we are on the same train. My ETA was pushed out to 10/4 but was just updated to 9/20-9/26. I have not been successful in tracking progress with my rail car number so I appreciate any updates you have to share on the location.

My Railcar # is TTGX851505

When I called to track, the computer was down. Ford Chat said it was in Franklin Park on the 7th. Which is basically Chicago.

My estimated arrival window was changed from 09/07-09/13 to 09/17-09/23. The trackers also show the status on Awaiting Shipment. I feel like I'm losing my marbles -- I swear it used to say it was in transit on OrderTrack.app. I was at my dealership last week and the sales rep seemed to suggest that his last update showed it in Indiana. I should have taken down the rail car number.

Great! Thank you! Maybe their system being down is why I was not able to track mine. My rail car number is TTGX160407. I'm happy to hear it is on the way. Praying there is no rail strike now.

Looks like mine is on a ramp in Richmond, CA, with an estimated delivery date of 9/19. Inching ever closer to the finish line.

Hopefully the rail strike is avoided - seems like it could have disastrous consequences far beyond our Broncos!

Even watching dealer’s internal apps, last night before heading off to bed, mine wasn’t even at the ramp. Mid-morning today when I checked, it was picked up by the carrier yesterday at 5:20pm. Clearly things aren’t updating consistently.

It was dropped off today!!

How are you able to do this? Thank you.

Truth be told, I have an unfair advantage in that I work p.t. for the dealership. My info comes from “Vehicle Visibility”, an internal dealer app. We share information from there with customers all the time. If you have a good relationship with your salesperson and you don’t mind “pestering” to some degree, they can get it for you.

Mine just showed up at the dealership today! Hoping to drive it home this week!!

Thanks! I've tried, but keep getting told it will arrive. I'm a firm believer in client service, (as I have clients and "be patient" is never term I use)... so it's disappointing to be told to "be patient" especially after 2 years especially at what appears to be the end.

It'll be over soon. Thanks for the kind reply!

Have you been able to get info from calling or only from Ford Chat? If you have been able to call, is this the number you are calling?

NS Norfolk Southern
1. Call 800-635-5768

When I call the number, it says no tracing information available. Just wondering if I am calling the right number.

NS Norfolk Southern
1. Call 800-635-5768

CSX
1. Call the CSX 1-800-235-2352
2. When prompted for location or weight, press "1" on your phone for location.
3. When prompted for the car initials, say CN (or whatever initials you have) then wait for the next prompt.
4. When prompted for the car number, say 907048 (or whatever your number is)
5. When prompted for next car say DONE.

After CSX it will transfer to either NS or to Union Pacific.

Since you are getting "no trace info" that means it has not yet transferred to the next railroad.
