5/2/22 Build Week Gang

[Bigfeets]

Mine is also in Laredo, Tx and I live in Austin, Tx. A 3 hour drive away.. yet I still have a July delivery date. A month away. Why must it go to kc first?

I'm no "train man", just reading up on things related to MME production and distribution. I hope this is useful.
Laredo is the most busy railroad crossing of the US-Mexico border. It's where Kansas City Southern rail line carrying Cuautitlan-produced MME enters the US. It's also where Customs & Border Protection (CBP) conducts their inspections of those trains. As far as I can determine, this facility is not a transfer point. The CBP inspections are aimed at keeping the trains moving while still performing their necessary purposes. KCS railcars are mostly routed to sorting yards in the Kansas City vicinity where the MME-loaded rail cars are handed off to other rail lines or moved to trucks for further deliveries. Apparently, there are sometimes delays at such "sorting" locales while full truck or train loads are assembled for common destinations.

Holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap!!

Got a call from my saleswoman saying Mr. Ed arrived at the dealership today!

This is like 2 weeks before I expected it to arrive, but a welcome phone call for sure. It's going to take a day or two for them to prep it and install the latest updates. Next evening they're open late enough I don't have to take time off work will be Thursday.

If all goes well we'll finalize the paperwork and I'll drive it home Thursday evening after
work.

Hot damn!

I am close enough to the end to see this through, but man I don't think I'd do this again for any vehicle short of a true exotic.

It's just a ridiculous process for a high-volume car.

I got an update, but I don't think it is much of a change. Last week I was showing on a ramp in KC. Now, it is "in transit" in Muncie, which I believe is still in KC. So, not much change and still projecting an 01July22 delivery date

Im batch
I have no idea which train I’m on. I only know that I was on some ramp 6R in Richards as of Monday.

I feel like my anxiety has tripled now that the dang car is built! Is this the process for other car orders? There has to be a better way

I’m likely on the same. Taking delivery at Walnut Creek but ETA is mid-July. Will try to get the status later when I get home.
