Hey there, any chance of a new image?
Sure, if the forum takes up a collection. We can get a highly processed image with twice the resolution (32cm) for approx $6,000. The 50cm minimally processed image we received previously was a one-off. Please text 1-800-MOPEY with your bank account info.

That kinda begs the question, what's the story behind the initial image? Did you just decide to drop a few thousand for the chance to maybe see the roof of your car in the lot with all the other cars? Do you work for a mapping company and went in after hours for a quick satellite detour? Are we going to hear some breaking news about some intelligence unit being hacked to check production rate at a Ford plant?

Maybe I missed the backstory in another thread but I've been dying to know which of the many backstories I've concocted are the closest

I work for the company that owns the satellites. I figured if you Ford employees could share some inside info, why not Mopey.

Careful buddy....don't jeopardize your employment simply to post commercial imagery.

Haha!! If he was a super-spy, we'd be seeing much better imagery, that's for damn sure. I used to stare at IMINT for the Air Force hours on end....big difference!
Hey, now. It can’t be that bad. The military is our biggest customer.

You are correct, 3 high isn't available with this car.
However, the load density chart for the Explorer, Escape and MKZ is 10 vehicles.
I think the MME falls into this category. I would expect 10 vehicles per autorack.

Ford Mustang Mach-E Satellite Photo of Mach-E Factory Taken 10 Dec 20.  Which one is yours? mache_railcars


We now have photos showing they are loading the Mach Es in 3 levels. Does this mean 15 cars per autorack?
If so, 5x3 = 15 per autorack, 6 autoracks per siding, 6 sidings = 540 Mach Es per train.
