It’s a beautiful day 13 at Ramp 6M, Argentine, KS. This is kind of getting ridiculous at this point though. How does any transportation plan allow for multiple weeks of just sitting at a ramp unclaimed?

I was wondering if you had seen any progress. While I departed KC two days later then you I somehow caught up (probably in Conway) and also have that same Newark timestamp from 2am on 5/5, no sign of being unloaded. The only progress I noticed over the weekend was that 2 MachE's from the previous (3/28) build week popped up as "Pending Pickup" in United Road for my dealer. I assume they were on an earlier train and just got unloaded. So maybe we are the next train to be unloaded, but hopefully that doesn't mean next week.

Are you shipping to California? I remember reading a previous post about California bound cars shipping through Argentine. The postered had stated once delivered to Argentine ramp there was no way to track vehicle. I had taken a screen shot, but I believe it was from one of the January build groups.

This is the original poster, check his shipping history. He has a great deal of insight as he is an Engineer with BNSF.

I must be on the latest train ever! By the way I'm from build week 3/7. I don't think I'm in KC yet and my final destination is NJ as well. Hopefully I'll get it before summer!

I think Norfolk Southern left my railcar in East Decatur, IL. Have been there for 4 days now

 

[zenicity]

Finally have a railcar number, was able to track is using Norfolk Southern. Last update was Clapper, MO 5/8 at 8:03 AM. That's a little less than half way to Decatur. I'm hoping to see the same progress as the NJ folks and make it through MO, IL, IN, and OH within a few days.

Yeah we’ve spoken. He had no idea on why the railcar number I was given was never turned over to BNSF. I was going to touch back with him if order track ever updated to something beyond picked, but alas it hasn’t. ?

Okay, to be sitting waiting for a railcar for 2 weeks is bit weird smh. Hope there is some movement soon. To be at Argentine ramp suggest that it should have been delivered by now and assigned to a railcar in due process.

I got my rail car today and according to the automated tracking from Union Pacific it is arriving May 14th. We’ll see if that holds true and how long it takes the dealer to get it. Much earlier than I was expecting given my original date from ford of May23-29th.

After spending a beautiful weekend in Oklahoma City, my train has finally departed the station (7:47am). Is it too much to ask for a Friday/Saturday delivery???? 7 months and we are in the final phase. Come on train push it real good. I want this baby born already!!!! Can't wait to bring u home my lil storm trooper. Got ur room all ready and even got u special plates.

Ps...status is still "picked" ?
