But I live in KSi don't deal in trains, so don't shoot the messenger if i'm wrong, but the screwy state of logistics these days means that might be the quickest way to you.
I have polish cargo coming by ship that goes poland, germany, netherlands, panama, new york, philadelphia. Used to be poland, germany, philadelphia, but there are less boats running so they have to utilize more transshipping points.
Now alternatively, they could have just screwed up the routing (that happens with ocean freight too). Truth is you just wont ever know unless you get tracking information from the carrier.

Did you click the link? KS is the southern most port CPR delivers to. The question becomes what's the most direct route to KS. Trains don't just run any which way they want. Doesn't matter if a destination links to a rail it's travelling on. Best to think of train routes like plane routes.But I live in KS![]()
There is about a 95% chance that any train traffic coming to Kansas from MI is going to pass through Kansas City.Did you click the link? KS is the southern most port CPR delivers to.

OR, they fucked up. Always a possibility.
CPR does not post any routes through Kansas, the link I provided above shows their routing.There is about a 95% chance that any train traffic coming to Kansas from MI is going to pass through Kansas City.
Yes CPR has a hub in KC, my whole point is anything coming to Kansas via rail from that direction is going to come to KC and not leave KC and go back east. If you look at the tracking it shows "Arrived" at KC on 9/22, then it shows "Received" at KC on 9/29 like it was received to ship back. So it's like it got to KC then someone loaded it back up to ship back a week later.CPR does not post any routes through Kansas, the link I provided above shows their routing.
