I guess I was optimistic last week, mine apparently just arrived in the last couple days at ramp 6R in Richards-gebaur, MO.

Now I get to wait for the next railcar to be assigned... so far my projected delivery date is unchanged

Looks like my car made it to Richards-Gebaur, MO ramp 6R which I think is the KC yard. Hopefully doesn't get stuck here too long, same delivery estimate of 10/23 to 10/29.

This morning's VVR had no change. Curiosity got the best of me whether there was a problem/hold up since I expected it to be in Internati by now. I was naughty and called KCS to find out, but made sure I was VERY polite and appreciative in response to the agent there. Said my rail car had arrived at Internati as of early this morning. Huzzah! ? Asked the sales guy to rerun the VVR, but haven't heard back yet.

Mine was in the same location and ramp on Saturday.

I'm hoping mine is like yours...maybe we're on the same rail up to this point - where yours will go east and mine will go west. I checked with Ford chat and it still shows in Laredo. How did you get hold of KCS?! You'll have to let us know how current your VVR is when your sales guy returns.

@jeffvick2005 I called 1-800-468-6527 and hit 2 for automotive. The person sounded a little grumpy when they answered. I told them I was trying to see if there were any issues going on since Ford said my rail car was still in Laredo and nobody seemed to know what was going on. They asked for the number and they were like "nah, no problems, looks like it made it here to ramp 6 (I think?) at intermodal" or something like that. I was like, "ok, so it's at Internati now?" and they said yeah.

No response from my sales guy yet as of 4:44pm EST. I'll hit up Ford chat in a bit once the hubby gets home and unblocks me from bugging them. LOL (Some kind of spam blocker on the router isn't letting me get to Ford chat for some reason.)

I didn't get a call back from my Friday inquiry, but since I haven't been the one talking to the sales guy, I'm not surprised. Tasked my other half with calling today.

Putting our Mazda 6 up for sale tonight. It's been a great car, fun to drive, and we'd probably get another if we hadn't gone EV. If it sells before we get the MachE, we have a Jeep & truck (that we only use for hauling) that can get us by, though not looking forward to the gas costs on those.

I called KCS today as well and was told the car shows as empty. So my guess is either the mach e is sitting somewhere waiting to be loaded or is loaded and Ford doesn’t have the new rail car number yet.

I did look around at maches that have been delivered recently, it seems like the transit times are improving at least to texas. Some were delivered to the dealers only a little over a month after build dates from looking at the stickers

Just chatted with Ford and got an update:

"...order shows the primary status of In Transit, Arrived Rail - Railcar # AOK 501890 (Kansas City Southern Railway Co ). Location-Internati, MO. ETA-Oct-27-2022".

That location must be International, MO? Not sure where that would be - anyone have any idea?

Also not sure if I can get updates from Kansas City Southern Railway - the last leg of my previous Mach E's trip was on Union Pacific I believe. Maybe it will transfer to Union Pacific next.''

That ETA is still within the window of 10/21-10/27, so I guess things are on track...

Heard some disconcerting news a few minutes ago that the rail strike may not be settled...

@csilvest Internati, MO is the international rail yard. That's where the train comes into from Lecheria. Once it's there, it will be assigned another rail car number on a different carrier or if you're close to there, it'll go straight to convoy as far as I know. Once you get the new rail car number, it'll be a lot easier to track, but still not great.

Thanks for the info. The last one came in on Union Pacific to a railyard near Salt Lake City and I was able to track it using a toll free number. From Salt Lake City it was trucked over to my dealer in Meridian (near Boise, ID).

Sounds like it will be put on the next train soon so maybe I'll get a VVR from my dealer by the end of the week.

My dealer is not being helpful. Last "he saw" it was in Laredo and the delivery window (Oct. 13-19) has not changed. Clearly he's in no mood to look into it more.
