i can track it on the Union Pacific for you.

 

That would be great! Thanks

I think the last days are the worst

 

01:00 11/19 not on the UP yet. What is your location?

 

I'm in CA. Someone else was able to get me the up to date tracking and it looks like the best I can hope for is arrival at the rail yard on 11-25 which is 5 days later than my Ford ETA.

No Thanksgiving truck for me

 

Reduced Operations for the holiday. If it makes the connection before the holidays, it will continue on to CA.

Thanks for all the info. It looks like I'll probably be able to pick it up on the 28th or 29th. Hate the wait, but others have been waiting a lot longer, I ordered on 8-12. At least I'll be able to see some at the SF auto show next week.

If you hear anything else, please pass along, I appreciate your help.

 

Your truck is on the UP now headed to North Platte, Nebraska.

 

Thanks for the update! This definitely makes the wait a little better, at least I can see that it is getting closer.

 

Thanks for posting the # and options

My dealer acts like it's a super pain to even speak to me.

Mine just left pleasant hill, MO. Still gotta get across Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Nevada.. and sneak pass the electric car police at the California border, and to the coast..

I feel your pain. Can't even get the rail car number out of my dealer. Definitely won't buy from them again or recommend.

 

Your truck and DDT11's are on the same train.

 

Nice, thanks! DDT11 - You in Norcal? Mine is heading for East bay / norcal.

Maybe they'll arrive with a F150 as a baby together, who knows. Or maybe they're both men, this is California after all.

 

I wonder if my truck is on this rail too, Im from Southern CA? Build date was 10-24 and original ETA was 11-22. Then 2 weeks ago it changed to 12-6, now today its 12-8!

 

Yup, mine will be delivered to Walnut Creek Ford. It looks like they are scheduled to come in on the 25th. With that being a holiday weekend, I probably won't be able to get it until 28th or 29th.

Getting closer, can't wait to get my hands on it.

 

Thanks again for the update. it's great being able to watch the progress, but I was hoping for better than a state a day speed.
