So once the status is "In Transit", does that mean it is on the train and moving at that point? My "Drop" went to that status late last week, so I wonder how long to KC?

Cars go on Rail to KC. From that point they get loaded onto trucks. You should see an update at that point.
I would say there is a good chance we see some mache movement this week being shipped.
Mine was shipped 1-18-20 but no updates since then. I'm most curious about that first leg and how long it takes to get from Cuautitlán to the border, what the process looks like at the border, and then how long the remainder of that trip takes to KC.

Well - mine shipped on 01-14-21 and still no updates in palsapp (still pending).

Also the question of when the status shifts to shipped. Does it happen when it's loaded on a train car even if that train sits there another 3 days waiting on more cars to load? Does it happen when that train actually starts rolling?

Not too sure about that. I'd imagine it gets updated around the time it's loaded on the car, as the railcar number is visible in Vehicle Visibility (dealer info). I doubt many updates to FordTracker, or even Vehicle Visibility are instant. Guessing it actually leaves the plant within a few days of it moving to "In Transit". As more and more get delivered, especially those of us here who are tracking, we'll find out more.

Based on what I've observed here on the forums, I would expect a couple weeks between ship date and when it arrives in KC.

An hour ago - my Mach Dop changed status to In Transit and now palsapp recognizes the VIN - to KC but status is pending in palsapp. Dont know when exactly it was shipped or if its a moving train versus loaded into a stationary train. I am taking this update to mean its loaded on a train.

Pretty much the same time a horse drawn covered wagon would take in days of old. well maybe not quite that slow.

Progress - my Machdrop was built on 1/9, and just a bit ago after refreshing the official Ford order tracking page, my car is estimated to be delivered to my dealer in 32 days. ETA is still blank on official page and fordtracker, but I figure it's only a matter of time...

I hope mine updates soon, too. Still nothing new three days after my Premium order, built the same day as the FE, shows this:

At what point in the shipping process does the "pending" status start to chnage in the paslapp portal tracker?
The palsapp seems to be updated after the fact. It will be pending until at least the day it has happened and delivery is complete.

On the train yes. The auto rack could be sitting on a siding awaiting more full autoracks, at which point it gets coupled to a train.

I have In Transit status too as of today so it must be on a moving train? Palsapp shows pending with a freight bill number and when I check that freight bill number on palsapp it only shows two vehicles - one is my Mach Drop and another is F150. That is confusing - the only answer i can think of is that what is showing on the Palsapp is from KC to my dealer and to that dealer there are these two vehicles going? Otherwise cant figure out what the F150 is doing going from that plant to KC.

My freight bill is my MME and a 2019 F150 that according to the VIN had some major recalls

I'm surprised by the ETAs I am seeing coming to Michigan compared to some others people have been posting. Maybe I'm able to hitch a ride with some of the executive cars.

19 days and counting.
