10/18 Build Week Gang

[Lyle]

What was your shipment date? Most here was the 17th but mine was the 16th. So I, too think I am on the same train. I do not have a car number though.

Based on info from dealer mine was shipped on 11/17.

What Mach E do you have ordered? - perhaps a clue as to what is holding it up.

That is my spec. With Dark Matter Grey and dark interior, and liscence bracket... It is indeed odd and frustrating to have yours inexplicably held up. For a bit I thought that the AWD non-GT versions were getting held up....maybe not, as apparently mine is moving North. I considered that the non-GT front motor availability could be an issue, the GT uses a 'rear' motor on each axle.

Keep us posted if you get more info from seg or the dealer, your baby will come, just post dates.

My Premium Rapid Red AWD extended battery is on a train out of Kansas City headed North West. Projected delivery 12/8-14.

No reason to try to understand it at this point. No one at Ford or my dealership knows anything

How are you looking up the rail car information? I read the tracking thread but I don't think I'm on the 3 shippers since mine railcar starts with KCS.

Shipped Rail - Railcar # KCS 008326

Shipped Rail - Railcar # KCS 008326

I am now letting my cell phone do the dialing: Calling the CSX tracking number and entering the codes with pauses 1-800-235-2352,,1,,216352,,502749 - saying 'done' and listening to the report and usually saying 'hear that again' to get the location name right.
KCS is the actual line the train is on from Mexico up to Kansas City. That railcar would belong to the line the train is on. I called the tracking phone number and that railcar has "no status'. Incidentally the other car listed a page ago - AOK 501946, was reported as 'Empty' and 'released' when I checked a few days ago. Perhaps the rail info was not correct from the source(s) - the dealer in many cases.
AOK is the code for Arkansas & Oklahoma Railroad.
Have hope - if your dates are similar to mine it is quite likely that your Mach E is on a train heading north. At least some of our (the 10/18 build week gang) Mach Es are now making their way to Kansas City. 420 miles to go - my bets are on Tuesday.

Once the railcars get to Kansas City in a few days the https://palsapp.com/ page using your VIN will likely contain further information - because Jack Cooper Co shuttles the cars to further railcars. However - I have read that the Pals App VIN lookup may not provide info unless you are a registered user - this was changed at one point because of the people tracking cars calling company operators for more!! info (Corvette buyers are probably even more obnoxious then us - seems like disabling the VIN report function would only make the calls worse). My VIN brings up actual but scant info so I am hopeful that more will be available in KC. I will try to make sense of it and include info with the data I keep listing. Calling my dealer to see which railcar the MME gets moved to heading west is likely what I will need to do.

My morning routine has become
- wake up
- check news sites
- let dog out
- check to see the status of a train

Thanks everyone who is keeping the rest of us updated!

It’s official. I’ve become grumpy ?

Just heard from my dealer. According to what he has, my car arrived in Laredo, TX at 14:21 CST on 11/23. So if it's not on the same train as @TargaGone, it's on a different train that's at most a day behind. Another data point for those of us who got built/shipped in the 11/17 or 11/18 timeframe. (According to seg.fyi, my car has a production date of 11/17, and the release date and ship date are both 11/18.) I expect I'll be furiously refreshing palsapp come Monday.

The report excerpt the dealer sent me made no mention of a railcar, so I won't be able to give daily updates.

Update on Railcar- Pittsburg Kansas 11/27 at 2:09 PM. 126 miles to Kansas City.

@rfrommd
I agree, your dates are consistently a day behind 'our' railcar. The VVR should have the railcar info allowing you to compulsively check. Waiting for Pals info then calling the dealer to get the railcar info leaving KC in a few days would be simpler that calling them twice.

@Neablis
Your priorities are mixed up. What 'news' is more important that your updated MachE travel status?!

I hope you’re right!! Mine says built 11/17 but no shipping info. ETA is 12/29-1/4 so I am praying it’s on one of your trains!!! Checking Palsapp daily with hopes of seeing a change in the next few days!!!
