Checked and the train UP passed thru KC Kansas around 11pm central time. Going the middle route it looks like. It's still moving thankfully!

Checked mine and @Itsdchz train status not too long ago and it’s in California, not too much longer and it should be in Richmond. Now hoping for a quick turn around at the rail yard!

Checked this morning and its now in Nebraska. Not sure why it wouldn't keep going directly west instead of going north. I thought it was going along the I70 West Rail path towards Denver.
As long as it keeps moving west!

Seems ours will go to the south route along I40…

Checked in again, looks like its headed northwest towards Denver or Cheyenne, based on the current Rail map pathway. I don't think it would go down to Denver unless they are dropping off a batch of Broncos there from my train and then head towards Utah.

It seems based on its current route it might go thru NorCal in order to get to LA. Unless it does go south from Utah to Vegas then switches to BNSF rail near Barstow, CA, and finally to Mira Loma. Anyone know if their Bronco switched from UP to BNSF?

I added my current pathway as a Green line going to Neb. from St Louis. BNSF Rail does pick up where UP ends near Barstow, CA.

*Added green line for possible path

Checked again this morning and it arrived last night in North Platte, NE --biggest Central Rail Hub

One thought I had about the rail maps, is that maybe UP shares the same rail line as BNSF and just keeps going even if the rail map says it ends. I guess we will find out.

@Itsdchz your rail car still in Barstow, CA? Or did they leave me behind. Haha

As of an hour ago.. still there. With impending rail strike. I’ve never seen so many container and tractor trailer cars on rail as I have these last two days. Retailers are scrambling. If they don’t get their product on the shelves, there’s going to be mass hysteria and losses. They are taking every means necessary to get everything on rail, and I doubt Ford is willing to pay more to move us along… so Amazon, Walmart, UPS and FedEx are priority to the rail as they pay extra $$…

So close … yet so far. Makes sense though money talks.

Well its about time!! She has arrived to the dealer this morning. Can't pick her up until after they do the PDI. I will post pics once I pick her up and take some!

You're welcome, haha. Ford must have finally reached the back corners of the lot to get us out of there! I think it helps that a bunch of Broncos seem to be going into a chip hold to clear some space on the trains.

My Braptor has been on a chip hold for over 2 months..sooo frustrating..

Mine has been at the local Railyard in Columbia, SC since Wednesday. The dealer said the system ETA is 12/16 but said it is always a mystery when it leaves the rail yard, and advised not to call to avoid upsetting the apple cart.

Wow, I feel yours got to SC pretty quick? Hopefully someone picks it up soon!

@Itsdchz and my cars are almost to the Richmond, CA rail yard probably by morning time possibly. Hoping there isn’t much of a delay in shipping to the dealership for both of us.
