Finally on a Train!

Scotter7532

My Bronco moved to a shipped status today. If anyone in here is from MN (Twin Cities), about how long was your shipping process? Or, anyone who is about 700 miles from MAP, what was your rail time?

Whoo hoo! Congrats! Won't be long now.

Congrats. Mines sitting in on a train in Blue Island, Illinois

Yay!! Congrats!

About a week and a half ago I got a notification that mine was there also. Then a couple days ago I got a notification that it was at MAP?????

A friend of mine had his Wildtrak cover 350 miles in one day. You may be looking at a very short time frame.

Congratulations it won’t be long now. Hope the train has afterburners.

That's awesome! I hope the rest of the process up through getting it home goes so fast.

Congrats on finally having your bronco put on the train. It won’t be long now.

Some music to hold you over until it gets there.

BuckYeah

I'm absolutely hoping for that scenario. Hoping all the rail cars heading to Northern MN and the Dakota's have room.

Good stuff! I was thinking last night and kept singing Metallica's, No Leaf Clover. This line kept playing and playing, "Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel was just a freight train coming your way" all I could think was "GOOD, that's what I want"....

Mine's been on a train since Nov. 8. Now it's sitting in Portland, 2 hours away, since Thanksgiving. Just when my hopes were getting up there, BNSF shoots them down for me. SOOOOOOOOOO sick of waiting. The email said expect to possess it between the 22nd and the 28th. Ain't gonna happen. Ford, you still suck in my opinion for making so many false claims about delivery.

Congratulations on your Bronco.

Mine took about two weeks to get to my dealer in Jordan MN. Thinking same for you. I would keep checking every day as I knew it was at the dealer per Ford not from any dealer notification.

But one really never knows…

I think I still have timing information it written down at work. Will check and validate on Monday. I remember contacting the dealer the day mine showed shipped and he was able to get me the railcar info. Once tracking the rail car it was already moving and made a stop at the IHB Gibson railyard in NW Indiana. I feel like it sat there two to three days before moving again. Likely a switch from CNX to BNSF. When it moved again it was less than a days travel to the Daytons Bluff Railyard in St Paul. I feel like it arrived on a Friday evening. Would continue to check the train daily where it set over the weekend and then the status changed to offloaded and released back to railroad early Monday morning. Arrived at the dealer in Elk River mid day Wednesday. Or at least that is when I got the call. If the dealer can offer you rail car info you will be able to stay in tune with timing. Hope you get it soon!

My apologies, I have not been able to find the paper in which I kept track of shipping . Have you been able to get a rail car number?

Woo-hoo!

Nice! I just received my "Shipped" email this morning too! They say that it is on a train as of 11/30 and they expect delivery to Arizona between 12/16 and 12/22. We shall see. The dealer texted me that yes it is on the train. Let's hope this rail strike holds off for a few more weeks...

It is finally coming together after two and a half years. :-)

The geographical distance matters, but may be secondary to transfers and intermediate stops for offloading other freight. My son tracks freight professionally, because often the carriers (rail and truck, both) don't really know where their equipment is.

I was on "Chip Hold" for about 2 weeks. I was fearing that I'd be stuck on Ice Mountain soon. Looks like Lady Luck is shining on us both Scotter7532!

I was able to get rail information up to Blue Island, Ill. CSX has left it there and waiting for next rail company to complete delivery to Cottage Grove or STP
