Railcar AOK 502749 update -
In Missouri - at the staging area for further transport.
I believe I found the location where the Mach E's arrive from Mexico on KSC for transfer in Kansas City. It is a former Air Force base called Richards Gebaur closed in 1994. Poke around on Google Maps starting here (or click on the picture below) and see if you agree. The south end of the old airfield seems to have been the Mach E staging area when google maps had this image 4/2021. Likely a bunch of MMEs - the limited color palette and roofs are a clue. There are a few "Schneider Drop Yards" scattered around the country including several HUGE ones in an area further north in Kansas City with MANY vehicles- likely serving cross country transports. Reconditioning used cars etc. There is a "Kansas City Auto Distribution Center" in Birmingham MO - I see some MachEs there as well and will guess (I am likely wrong - my California delivery went there) that these are heading East from KC. How they get from one drop yard to the other remains a guess - but the Jack Cooper Co may move them and thus they would show up on the Pals app. That info comes from prior PALS thread discussion posts.

11/18 - Left Mexico City area
11/27 at 7:17 AM - Departed Watts Oklahoma
11/27 at 2:09 PM - at Pittsburg KS - 110 miles south of this transfer yard.
11/27 at 8:26 PM - arrived at INTL Freight (??) Missouri -
11/28 at 2:52 AM - INTL Freight ?? Missouri - "Placed at customer location" ?? = I can not make out what is said.
No change in Jack Cooper Trucking PALS info for me as of Sunday PM (it took till Friday!). Let us all know if your VIN gets info from - https://palsapp.com/ - And where it is heading -
Since I have gone overboard, I'll keep going. Using this Google Earth view it looks like they separate the railcars and bring down the cars on the yellow/orange ramp frame. You can see the tire patterns on the taxiway. MMEs are lined up in the background. We can all now imagine the gentle handling of our cars in transit. If you are interested I found the loading point near Mexico City and the factory north of it. Imagery is before MachEs were there.
