Mine shipped on the 25th. Where is it - dunno. When will it arrive - not sure. It'll be a cool surprise when my dealer texts me!

I think others who are in CA have indicated there is a train issue in Barstow CA. and I think cars bound for CA are taken by convoy from KC (where Richards-gebaur, MO) is.

My situation is different - mach-e going to MI - ford chat:
On 8/26 --- your vehicle's current location is Ramp 6R, Richards-gebaur, MO. -- Convoy # 1362600621 (Jack Cooper Transport).
On 8/27 --- Ramp 6P, Kansas City Mc, MO
On 8/30 --- Aug-27-2022, 12:19 CT, I show the vehicle was located on Ramp 6U, Muncie, KS. - Railcar # COER900726 (Norfolk Southern Corp ).

I then called NS and via automated system it reported 5:30(AM?) it was in Indiana.

Don't know if chat had a issue when looking up my car - or if a convoy (truck) was required to transfer from KS rail yard in Ramp 6R, Richards-gebaur, MO to NS rail yard Ramp 6U, Muncie, KS.

Seems they like Ramp 6 with different letters ;-)

I still have an estimated arrival time at the dealer from 9/14 to 9/20 - earlier I had an single estimated date of 9/6. from Chat.

Sounds like I'm in a similar boat but in the other direction. rail to MO, convoy to KS, now it's on rail (Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Co ) again in KS (Ramp 6M, in Argentine, KS on 8/24/2022 was the status as of this afternoon). Hoping for next Friday ETA but expecting at least one more week...

I called Norfolk Southern and it said my car departed on Flat car in Buffalo, Illinois. What does flat car mean? Maybe it is still on the train.

googling flatcar - it is a type of railroad car - seems like this type of railroad car is designed for " military equipment, farm equipment, construction equipment, pipe, steel beams, wood products and more".

it’s an auto carrier car, the enclosed kind with the chrome metal grates on side….it’s completely enclosed :)

I questionEd the same thing when our other Mach E came to the west coast. It traveled NS via flatcar. Totally normal for NS, but yes a Google search will show reflect an actual flat car…not the case though :)

This information was confirmed with NS back in Feb/March. So you are totally good :)

Just received the delivery delay notice of one month.

“Due to unanticipated shipping delays, your 2022 Mustang Mach‑E GT is now expected to arrive between September 28, 2022 and October 4, 2022. Your dealer will contact you to arrange pickup details as soon as it’s ready for you.”

Good to know.

NS has my vehicle at Elkhart IN "ground only" with a time date stamp 8/30 5:45Pm.

Anyone know what "ground only" means?

Found at:
https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/?-3-21-22-build-week-group.34216/page-193
in relation to what "ground only" means:
===
It means the railcar has arrived at the final destination and the railroad has notified the yard that it’s available to be pulled in. You should get a unloaded or empty release status soon.
====
Hard to believe it will take till Sept 14 to make it from Elkhart IN to Bridgman MI - between 46 and 56 miles depending on route.

ETA on my vehicle was 8/19 to 8/25. 4 days passed and no update regarding the vehicle. Apparently still in KS since 8/17. Just got an update and ETA changed to 10/2. Sigh

Anyone else from 7190 7/25 build week that got their car delivered to NV or CA?

First and most important. Never talk to live personnel at the railroad! Only use automated phone system. If it attempts to transfer you to a live person please hang up. The railcar information we are provided by is given as a courtesy and if we call live personnel we may lose the access and ability to track.

CSX
1. Call the CSX 1-800-235-2352
2. When prompted for location or weight, press "1" on your phone for location.
3. When prompted for the car initials, say CN (or whatever initials you have) then wait for the next prompt.
4. When prompted for the car number, say 907048 (or whatever your number is)
5. When prompted for next car say DONE.
6. That's it; enjoy your updated status report.

Union Pacific
1. Call UP at 1 800 877-5123 1 800 877-5123
2. Follow phone prompts for Trace
3. Say the railcar number complete and clearly. Example CN123456 all together
4. Listen for your update

NS Norfolk Southern
1. Call 800-635-5768
2. Press 2.
3. Press 2.
4. Enter the letters on the numeric keypad then press #. As in: TTGX will be 8849
5. Enter the numbers then press #. It wasn't taking my voice prompts but typing worked.
====
I think that Lecheria Cuap, EM is in Mexico and the railroad may be Kanas City Southern - I was not successful in tracking on KCS - but once in KC it will likely be put on a different rail carrier and you may be able to track from there.

7190 here. Email on 8/25 indicated new ETA of 9/17-9/23, as my car didn't make it out prior to the plant shutdown. Shipping shows as convoy, I haven't called or chatted for specifics since the 8/25 communication. I'll see it when I see it.

Mine is still sitting at Ramp 6R as of the last update on 8/26.

Funny because when the eta window changed to 8/29-9/4, yet if it is still sitting at the ramp it isn't going to make that ETA either. Yet the marketing department is still saying eta shows the same. Odd.

Guess it might be a surprise, if and when it every arrives
