BNSF (Burlington Northern Santa Fe) Rail Tracking

[Manick]

@emersonsdad - would be amazing (happy to venmo) if you can track BNSF301834 - waiting for my car to arrive in austin, texas - thanks!

I'm in Manor, TX so our MME's are probably traveling together.

Same thing happened to me. Ordered Nov15, built Aug15, shipped Aug24, still being reported in KS since Sep15. Delivery window late September, bumped to this week, now pushed again out to Dec3-9. Ford customer service and dealer both no help.

Hello,

Did you get any update on your MME yet?

Ha e you had your rail car # tracked. There is a person on here that works for rail and can give last know a curate location.

Hello,

Did you get any update on your MME yet?

I was able to track the railcar to MN back on Oct. 27 (thanks @emersonsdad ). Which was at least something more recent than Ford was able to tell me.

In fact, Ford STILL says it was last checked in at the KS location, which has been the status since September 15 on their end.

Nothing else has changed from Ford. Still says expected delivery now the first week of December, dealer has nothing to add, etc.

It seems like many MME orders destined for western deliveries have been severely delayed (particularly Sept, Oct build weeks). My own order has been sitting at ramp 6R, Richards-Gebaur, MO for 47 days so far, waiting for a ride to California. Does anyone know if BNSF and Ford are having some sort of dispute or unresolved impediment to the transfer and transit of the MME from 6R to CA, AZ, TX, CO?

mine was built 10/3, shipped 10/7 and arrived here in Seattle 11/11. I don't know what has been the delay for some and not for others heading the same way.

Good to know. My guess, your MME made it from KC to Seattle on Union Pacific probably through NE, WY, ID?

Mine, built 9/13, made it to KC from Mexico in 10 days, then sat and sat and sat.

My build week was 9/19, and like everyone else's the car was stuck in Ramp 6R for a couple of weeks. I found out just now that it's arrived in California, and hopefully it'll get offloaded at NorCal's BNSF rail yard in Richmond in a couple of days.

I’ve read in the mainstream media about huge rail freight delays into CA still bc of COVID backups still. Just too much freight for the number of rail lines.

BNSF embargoed many cargo-types, including automobiles, back in July-August due to scheduling problems/crowding through Barstow. (Huge cargo load headed East from LA-LB ports, too.) The embargo supposedly ended in early September. No other such impediments have been surfaced although speculation abounds. As SoCal "customer" who feels cheated for waiting 11 months, so far, and still counting, I'd like some up-front communication about "why me" and why CA, CO, AZ, & TX.

it seems that ford has done something about this, but only for cars that were produced in the last couple of weeks. someone with a 10/31 (or maybe it was 11/7) build week found out from their dealer that cars destined for CA are now going thru nogales, mexico and headed to riverside, ca.

i was just able to find the final leg carrier for my car, and they are contracted to pick up the car from a BNSF rail yard in richmond, ca. so it must be that for norcal deliveries, the cars will continue from riverside to richmond by rail.

CSX has no status for my railcar number, so i guess that means it must be on a BNSF train, which all makes sense as the richmond depot is a BNSF facility. and it seems that (given the first post of this thread) that it is impossible for mere mortals to track BNSF traincars. on the other hand the format doesn't seem like a BNSF number (it is AOK 501589 vs. a TTGX number)

i know this doesn't help you as your shipment predates this new path, but it does seem like ford realized what has been happening with shipments to CA is just not working.
