Delays aside - its great that your car has landed and you now get to experience what has been a year plus wait.

Great to see an insider and active contributor get their car (almost!)

Congratulations. You are nearly there. I imagine you are (or will be soon) at your dealer waiting impatiently for him to prep the car for delivery. I know I will be. Hope it lives up to all your expectations. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and seeing some pics. Enjoy it.

I'm thinking he needs to stretch the cars legs a little and take it across town to visit a fellow forum member to make him jealous that his car is on a train to nowhere.

Really, congrats....

At what stage can you start to track it's progress? only when it goes from train over to palsapp?

Your dealer should be able to see more detailed progress via "Vehicle Visibility". Palsapp.com will only show any transit handled by Jack Cooper, an auto truck transportation company.

It's too bad the rail tracker doesn't work anymore via your VIN, like it did several years back.

Vehicle Visibility shows it was loaded on a train and provides the train car #. Unfortunately it’s not something customers can access.

What are the last 5 digits of your VIN?

On another thread, @SnBGC said not to pay attention to Palsapp because it will just drive you crazy and not tell you much. I agree.

So, now back to my Palsapp . I think I understand it now. Here's my latest theory:
Currently it shows

What it really says is it was delivered to Norfolk Southern after the test at Speedway was finished. Why the pending KC to Speedway? It was never used.
A while back, my pending pickup in DE vanished and was replaced by

However, my car had already left KC for DE by the time this was issued. As a result, this pending freight bill will never ( ? ) be used and my car was trucked directly from DE to the KS Speedway with no record on Palsapp.

The last part of my theory is that while missing from the search by my VIN, the original pickup at New Castle, DE is still pending. I downloaded this today by searching for the Freight Bill #:

This will hopefully be easy for Jack Cooper to find when the autorack containing my car gets picked up from its current stopover in Conway, PA and finishes its trip back to DE.

I'm very interested to see how my Mach-E makes it to my dealer. It's currently on a Norfolk Southern train heading East (from Kansas City), but still very North. Pass through Ft. Wayne, IN at 1:56AM this morning.
