Oh man. Mine arrived at Norfolk Southern Voltz on 6/14 my dealership is in Illinois. Hopefully not my car or any other Mach Es
I doubt an Illinois car is on this train. Cars headed to southern Illinois are trucked from KC and those headed farther north would not use this rail line (I don't think). This line heads due east, I think trains to the Chicago area take a more northeasterly line through the Quad Cities.

Mine arrived at Norfolk Southern Voltz 6/17 on its way to Rochester, NY. I'm not nervous at all.

Thanks for the comforting words. My dealer who had previous Mach Es all went to norfolk Southern Voltz and then roughly 2 weeks later showed up at dealership. That was the only thing that showed up on palsapp, that it arrived at norfolk Southern Voltz. Nothing else.

Mine arrived Voltz 6/17 but should be headed south to Atlanta; not to IL.

Oh No!! Mine arrived in KC (Voltz) on 6/22. My delivery date to Cleveland was just updated today from 7/11 to 8/7. Now I have to find someone at the dealership who knows how to access the vehicle visibility report since my salesperson has no clue!

According to article train was headed to Decatur Illinois which is in central Illinois. I think it would have Illinois cars. For anybody waiting for your car in Illinois I hope you receive your car on time and in good shape.

It's local news...I suspect it mentioned Decatur to give local folks a common reference point. I don't think it necessarily means that Decatur was the final destination.
Springfield is only 35 miles from Decatur and I know MMEs were trucked there from KC.

Heck, we don't even know for sure that the train was carrying MMEs....I hope I'm not causing people undue stress with this thread!

@Illinibird Not sure it would just have Illinois cars; I'm pretty sure mine passed through Decatur on its way to me in Virginia. Hoping nobody has a terrible delay or awful damage as a result!

Didn’t know that about cars passing through Decatur to places other then Illinois and I’m with you on hoping nobody has a car that is damaged.
