We just got billing on 02/20 and it may be 24-48 hours before the railcar is interchanged to the UP in Kansas City. The railcar will probably go to North Platte and spend 24 hours there being switched to a Denver train. I'm not sure how the routing will be until we receive it and then I will be able to view it. Do you have the last 5 numbers of your vin so I can verify that it is on this railcar?

Storms in Texas blew these loaded auto racks over on 02/20. It's a shame that the vehicles will all be destroyed because of liability issues.

Your truck is riding on the lower deck position A3. Eight trucks total with four on each deck. We still haven't received the railcar as of noon today.

Here is a picture of the rail car your truck is riding on.

What part of Arizona? My railroad don't have billing on this car and could be on the BNSF railroad.

TrikeDawg, I think you'll get a chuckle out of this. I sent the picture of the auto rack car you sent to me, along with the message of what position my truck is in, to the inventory manager at my Ford dealer today. She is the lady who has been providing me updates all throughout the ordering process. She responded, clearly laughing, that in all the years she has been doing this, she has never had a customer this excited to get their truck before. She said she would say a prayer that it would be a fast train.

I'm guessing you're going to frame that picture.

TrikeDawg, Good morning, I'm guessing my rail car did not make it over to the UP as yet. Hopefully, KC will kick it out sometime today.

By the way, I saw your post abut the DEF in the tank. Did that get resolved for you?
