We may be on the same rail line - my railcar# TTGX964716 - delivery 7/22-7/28

Can confirm my Lightning is in the same railcar as yours. Bound for OC, fwiw estimated window of 7/24-7/30.

After being sent to the wrong place, having a problem with the rail car and then fixing the issue with the railcar, my truck is scheduled to arrive in Mira Loma this Saturday! Hoping for a quick unload and delivery to the dealer!

Noticed you didn't post your order details.

Can you share your build, blend, production, built, shipped dates ?

 

[Brandonhatch]

Robins ford.
build - 5/16
Blend - 5/17
Shipped - 5/29
Got lost for a long time. Shipped to the wrong place. Should have been here 6/24-6/30.

Just did a trace using UP's IVR system and sounds like our railcar is supposed to be arriving on the 18th in Industry. Has anyone tracked how long it typically takes to get from there to (an OC-based dealership)?

I saw something about it here or somewhere else, but from what I saw regarding Union Pacific specifically it didn’t appear to impact vehicles or the yard the train is heading toward.

Same here - same OC area.
@millim what is your estimated delivery dates from Ford ?

Automated system said my railcar left West Chicago 7/11.
It's due to arrive in "Industry" on the 18th which I don't know where that is.

Sort of neat to see the entire train track system map online:

Yes, that is why all California Lightning shipments after the embargo started in early July are being put onto UP trains.
