Photos or it didn't happen ?

IT DID HAPPEN!!! Found it tonight. Looks like they got in 7 Mach E's. Dealer would not commit to having it ready to pick up Saturday. Claimed they got four trucks full of cars today. Think I will stop by in the morning and ask to look at it and make car noises until they get it ready. Oh crap...EVs don't make noise. Well, hoping they help me out anyway.
So....darn....close.... Good luck to the rest of you all.

I'm kinda not thinking u would be on the same train cause I'm going to TX and ur going to CA. Unless they are gonna uncouple ur car in OK and we then go our separate ways. ?‍ but call the railroad. It's a breeze. Tell me what they say.

Thanks for the info!

Sadly they told me “no status.” I guess I’m still on ramp 6R in Richards-Gebaur, maybe.

Good to know I can always call as much as I want so I can check and be disappointed though!?

Still on picked? So annoying. That's why I'm just wondering if it's too good to be true. ?‍

I texted my railcar to a friend of mine who’s a railroad buff, and he called UP and said my train is in Topeka, KS but needs to be assigned it’s final track to proceed to Denver. At least it’s making progress!

Dear journal,

Thank you for being so comforting to me as I sit here on day 11 at Argentine ramp 6m. It’s so reassuring knowing you have been here for me when my car has not. Always willing to listen to me when Genevieve and Sundip on ford chat no longer care to talk. You have witnessed my tears, my depression and my deepest fears.

Yours forever!

Fear not loyal @jayemunr I sat on A ramp for 12 days. Apparently I failed the sobriety test multiple times ? before I was allowed to pass. But I have faith in u. We will leave no car behind. Besides, I think they are saving the best for last. Hopefully you are having beautiful weather where u are. Go grab urself some ? and repeat after me. "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can" if Thomas the train can get up that hill/ramp so can you!!!! Sending hugs.

From Missouri, to Illinois, to Indiana over here in 48 hours. The Northfolk call in line is entertaining.

Ya, nothing is as big as Texas?. Glad ur train is moving right along. My train left at 1:18, and got to Oklahoma city as of 10:50 last night. No more updates yet?‍ I think next update/stop will be dallas, then onto Houston.

Rail made it to Conway, PA. Hope it doesnt sit here for too long! Just need to get to Wilmington, DE

UP automated line said my car is Constructively Placed. Another step closer!

 

[CaliFaceDoc]

Maybe this is why I am still stuck on ramp 6R in Richards-Gebaur?

?

“In the last three months, more than 700 railroaders have walked off the job at BNSF because of it, according to the union.”

My car spent about 48 hours there (huge railyard where I imagine they are moving train cars around for different destinations), but once it got going again it completed the rest of its trip to NJ in 24 hours. Hopefully similar for Wilmington.

@CarDreams hey ? I found ur car. It's at the Kentucky Derby.

My salesman checked the VVR and my MME is in Ft. Worth, a short 40 mile truck ride away. Wonder how long it'll take for this final step? ??? soon.
