6/27/22 Build Week Thread

[FamDocDon]

Based on what I learned this morning from Ford Chat, and the fact that our cars were shipped at the same time, I'd surmise your car is also at the Richards-Gebaur rail yard in KC, awaiting onward shipment. Let me know if you find out anything new!

Thanks Michael! Headed to the ball game and will check again when I get home.

McNary, TX 5:34 AM
This is the very first time I see any car going along this route. My guess is the next stop will be at El Paso then Tucson. We will see.

Based on that route, your car must be loaded on a Union Pacific train. According to the BNSF automotive route map, they don't operate in West Texas.

My built was completed on 6/30 shipped on 7/2, arrived in KC on 7/14 moved by convoy to Muncie KS rail yard, left on rail on Norfolk Southern on 7/15 was in ST Louis this morning 7/16 which it was the last time I checked using NS phone system. It’s been moving along at a good pace. Batch 6711.

Oh holy shit. Yours was probably on that convoy I saw. Muncie would be in the direction I saw it travelling from the other railyard in Belton.

Probably did you see an ICE White Premium? ?. This morning it was in Shelbyville, Kentucky, at that pace it will probably arrive earlier than expected to Central Florida.

I wish mine was moving that fast!

Like yours, my GTPE was built on 6/30 and probably shipped out from the factory on the same train. But as far as I can tell, it's still sitting in KC waiting to be transferred to the BNSF rail yard to catch a northbound train (my dealer is in the Dakotas). ETA 7/23-7/29 and I hope that estimate holds!

Probably. Lots of white and silver. A few red. One blue. I was looking for an orange one and didn't see any.

I’m going to try again tomorrow morning and will post my results here. I’m trying to refrain from chatting with them daily. Every other day is probably enough! ?

Finally got through! Left Muncie, KS today on Union Pacific railcar NKCR007621.

Talked to Ford Chat today regarding my shipped Mach E (I'm outside Atlanta).

Shipped Rail - Railcar # TTGX982356 (Norfolk Southern Corp ). Last location shows Ramp 6U, Muncie, KS. I also see an ETA of Aug-14-2022for delivery to your dealer. This information was updated today.

Update - Danville,KY. Getting closer!

The chat button has totally disappeared for me! On both my phone and my laptop.

It seems to come and go for me. I believe it disappears outside their business hours:

Chat Hours

Monday–Friday 8:30AM – 10:00PM Eastern Time
Saturday 11:00AM – 7:00PM Eastern Time
Sunday 11:00AM – 7:00PM Eastern Time

My car is on the move, too! According to Ford Chat, it left the Richards-Gebaur rail yard in KC today aboard Jack Cooper Transport convoy #1362558726. Probably en route to the BNSF rail yard 25 miles away in Argentine, KS.

I'm not going to bother trying to track the convoy, which may already have reached its destination. I'll wait a day or two and contact Ford Chat again for the BNSF rail car headed north.

My car appears to be following a typical path for vehicles headed to dealers in the upper Midwest and Great Plains: Cuautitlan, Mexico factory > Laredo TX > KCS Richards-Gebaur rail yard, Kansas City, MO > Jack Cooper Convoy Richards-Gebaur, MO > BNSF Argentine Ramp, KS > BNSF rail to Dilworth, MN rail terminal > Truck to your dealer.
