Is it possible to track a rail car (Norfolk Southern)?

[Mrskgb95]

I'm curious if anyone has tried tracking west-bound cars through BNSF:

https://www.bnsf.com/cws/tracing

I think west bound are on Union Pacific. Have a tracker for that?

I don't have a UP tracker, but while I was searching for one I fount BNSF does have a line to NorCal. I also found a few posts on the site mentioning BNSF:

Maybe @dixiekidd88 can say if he confirmed BNSF and not UP?

So I have a relative of a friend that works for the railroad . . . in their traffic department. I asked them a few days ago if they could see if they could track my car by railcar. The railcar supposedly left the plant on 1/26 - 8 days ago. He found it currently in De Queen Arkansas (directly South of KC) as of 5:45 am today. My delivery date on the Ford site is by 3/9 . . . I can't believe it takes 5 more weeks from Arkansas to Ohio? This is like the postal service lately where I am still getting December mail in February!

My "In transit" date was 1/25 so it could be my car is on the same train. Thank you for that info!

427 miles by road from De Queene to KC. The railroad seems to end at NOLA and at Port Arthur, perhaps a connection around Beaumont TX

Here is that railway tied to Mexico, perhaps crossing the border at Laredo?

Hopefully some other members here had similar dates and on that train too!

Our ship date was 1/25 as well.

More info I found about the route from Mexico - the dotted line parts are curious.

If you read the legend I think those are tracks that are shared, but not owned by that railway.

That was my ship date too, so I'm hoping mine's on that train too.

Oooooh. It worked. Mine's in Perryville, MD. I know that train yard. I've passed it driving up to the Conowingo Dam to watch eagles in the winter.

I'll quit tying up the line now: the train reached Wilmington! Hopefully they'll unload it tomorrow.

I tried with no luck - you sure that's the exact railcar number for Norfolk Southern?

Hey, so where is your MME when you checked last when calling that number? Prob getting close to your delivery date now!

Yes - my transit date is 1/25 as well - i have a rail car number but not easy to track on the train to KC I guess

Not sure about Norcal or PNW but SoCal are UP, There was a guide posted yesterday listing all railroad stations for carriers - SoCal is UP based on that but Norcal and PNW probably different

At this rate it may be in KC by the 6th?

Yes I should have said SoCal to be clear. UP is running to SoCal.
