Now, im starting to get a little frustrated. The truck has been in Montana longer than it took to get to Montana from Kentucky by train. Im told the Montana Rail Link Conductors are somewhat worthless. Not sure what is happening at each of these stops. But it left Laurel, MT on Monday and as of late last night was still in Townsend Montana after getting there yesterday. It has only gone about 200 miles in two days.

Welcome to my world! From my experience with the RR's is that they are not very reliable. The car was in Laurel for a few days, most likely held to build a train to Spokane or could have been held up for the Columbus Day holiday, then ran to Garrison, MT and currently shows Missoula, MT. Not sure if it will be held there very long or not but will most likely go to Sand Point to go to the BNSF and then to Spokane.

I have had cars sitting around for days because they couldn't find a crew to run the train.

Let me know if you have any new info. My buddy showed it had left Garrison after you had told me it hit Missoula. So BNSF isn't current on MRL trains.

The car shows on the CN and I can't track it since I am not on the waybill but my secondary tracking report shows it passing through Rainy River ON with and ETA into Calgary on the 21st. The CN moves pretty quick in Canada. Is that where you show it might be going?
