Big railyard-- your railcar is sitting/getting shuffled around as NS creates new trainsets for various destinations. https://www.google.com/maps/@40.667434,-80.2481936,1913m/data=!3m1!1e3

My car spent two days here, but was in Newark, NJ (the final stop on rail for my car) within 24 hours of moving again.

Also, ordertrack doesn't tap into any systems except the shop.ford tracker and Palsapp. Now that Palsapp is no longer accessible, it's really just giving you the same info that the shop.ford tracker is giving you, which is not much.

Thanks, now i just need to figure out what the final train stop will be.

Does the app tell you the car is charging at the station in Mexico?

It's somewhere on the factory grounds in a heavily covered area since it showed a 0.1 mile drive before the charging session and now I can't get a GPS signal on it. It was parked at the red X this morning so somewhere close by that.

I finally broke free from the airport and have been riding the NSR for a day on a typical rail car number.

Someone please help me interpret the new info from the NSR automated system. It said it left today from Debend (sp?) IL on a flat car. Are all MMEs shipped on trains shipped on Flat Car? I assume a flat car is still a train? Or is my MME on a truck now? Delivery estimate is still end of July.

Flat car is a Flat Deck train. It usually hauls heavy equipment that doesn’t fit in a box car.

Finally another update from FordChat with a rail car.

This is heading from KS to WA

Your order is current in transit. It was shipped by Railcar # TTGX693736 (Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Co). It was last update on June 2nd, it was in Argentine, KS.

When trying to trace with the BNSF it said no tracking information was available...so I'm assuming i need to try later.

The way these guys ship cars, maybe 8 week estimates are a thing.

Checked with Norfolk Southen and my car is in Conway, PA, just outside of Pittsburgh. Making progress! Car should arrive this year, hopefully.

Did any 4/11s take delivery this weekend!? The waiting is brutal. I have given up on Ford Chat and the trackers. I have no idea where the MME is between Kansas and West Coast Canada. I had a May 4th build date, and shipped the next day. Estimated delivery has never changed from 25 June - 01 Jul. I’m anxiously waiting. I got the AOSK side window louvers V2 delivered today, so my DMG Select AWD doesn’t get lost in the parking lot. Let’s go!

Haven’t heard of any new deliveries. My car is still stuck in Newark since last Sunday, 35 miles from my dealer.

How are y’all tracking through Norfolk Southern? Thought tracking didn’t work for them.

It will ask for the letters of your train car. Use the corresponding key on the phone but only press each key 1 time. So “C” is just “2”. Press #
Enter the numbers for your train car. Press #
confirm what you just entered but pressing 1

Done.

@FarSide My car's on the move again. Was in New Florence, PA (pop: 689) this morning. You too? From what I've heard it doesn't take long to get to Newark, but then (as @RMoore is experiencing) it could be stuck there forever. United Road does the trucking from Newark to Upstate NY.

Ideal delivery for me (before a series of trips) would be week of 6/13 but not sure that's possible. Trying to just be thankful this is all hopefully nearing an end! Looking forward to the 4/11 crew finally getting their deliveries.

Finally got a railcar # and called norfolk southern. Car arrived in Elmira, NY June 4th at 1PM. Only a few hours away from the dealer in MA. So close yet so far away. My car is batch 5237 for those wondering.

Good news! Mine is DMG AWD Select batch 5237 297/301. Mine is coming all the way West of you to British Columbia Canada. I’ve lost any ability to track, but your update gives me hope. Good luck!
