Richards Gebauer, MO is an offload transfer depot. All MMEs from Mexico are offloaded here and trucked to another railroad depot or to a dealer. Yours will probably be trucked to the Canadian Pacific Railway depot in Kansas City. https://www.cpr.ca/en/choose-rail/network-and-facilities

Dang. Thanks for info

I wouldn’t suggest activating it for two reasons, 1) it eats up days from your blue cruise free trial
and
2) theoretically speaking, it’ll eat power every time you try pinging it making you another victim to the 12V battery issue as these cars aren’t getting charged anywhere enroute to their destination.

#2 is just a theory of mine.

Well, it wasn't possible anyway, but good looking out.

I’m a week behind you for a build week and also shipping to Chicago. Do you remember what day you hit Laredo? I hit Laredo yesterday.

Is anyone reading about this potential railroad strike? This would have pretty huge implications if it happened.

Yeah, that would be rough for many reasons. Thankfully it is highly likely a committee will be appointed and that would keep a strike/lockout from happening for at least another 60 days (I hope most of us have our Mach Es by then).

I just checked with Norfolk Southern, my current status as of 11:45am is PCON (constructive railcar placement) in Port Wilmington, DE. Next step I think is to unload and put a truck to the dealer! Not sure how long this step takes but getting closer!

Looks like my car made it in to Washington state last night, but apparently it's on the long way around and has to go through Portland before it comes back up here to the Seattle area. Either way it's getting to the area quicker than I had expected, not sure how much of a delay to expect between unloading and making its way to the dealership but good to see it moving along.

Awesome, hope you get the car well ahead of your estimated window! Did you use Norfolk Southern's automated line to track it? I can't get any info using the rail car # I have.

No info on when it hit Laredo, I suggest you contact for chat, that's how I found out it was in Elkhart

FYI... Mine was showing Muncie, KS, ramp yesterday but today it is in Rolla, CO, at the rail to truck transfer station. It's about 20 miles from my dealer. There is no way it made the KS to CO trip in one day, so the tracking was lagging.
