That looks like it is on the UP and shows an ETA of 10/31 into Mira Loma, CA. Does that sound correct? It doesn't tell me where it is at but I have another way to check.

I don't have access to the waybill so it won't give me the train number. I can track it on a secondary program that I use but all it'll give me are the towns it is passing through

My truck left Wichita, Kansas this morning but can't tell where it's going! All I have is the 877-744-7279 # and press 5 then 3 then 1 and enter railcar # to track it but all it gives me is the last place it left. How do you know where the truck gets taken off? I'm assuming the closest city to the dealer? My dealer is in Seminole, Ok. so I'm guessing my truck will unload in OKC.

When I call it says CSX on the prompts. Says UP I'm guessing that is Union Pacific. I just called and it says "Costructively placed" in OKC as of 10:43pm which was 2 min ago! Woohoo maybe it's finally getting off the train tomorrow? Not sure what constructively placed means? Lol

From UP's website:
Constructively Placed
"When, due to some inability on the part of the consignor or consignee, a car cannot be placed for loading or unloading at a point previously designated by the consignor or consignee it is placed elsewhere. It is then considered as being under Constructive Placement and subject to demurrage, rules and charges, the same as if it were actually placed at the designated point."
