Train ride to NorCal

[gorwell]

don't know what train I am on, I have been just following your lead. How do I find my EXACT train?

You ask your dealer or ford chat for a railcar #... however, you'd be off the railcar by now, so it doesn't really matter. You could ask to verify that you are in Nevada which should be the last item in the Visibility Report.

Since you are a little more North, you may be waiting a little longer than the rest of us additional cars to be headed your way before they load you.

Honestly, it probably would make more sense from Ford's stance to have shipped you to Oregon and hauled you down since Ford didn't send any NorCal trucks to the Bay Area.

Portland is UPs drop off, which is 400 miles from you

Las Vegas is 650.

So my dealer just gave me the rail number. He also showed it in LV on July 21. I am train TTGX254785. He said his system has it arriving any day but he won't know till it shows up.

My Fordpass Activation request was denied yesterday (7/27) at 6:56 AM. Website still says on track for a 7/31-8/6 delivery window to a greater Sacramento area dealership. Not sure where the truck is but I think this is a good sign it's off the train! Fingers crossed.

Yea, a few of us had it denied a week ago when the trucks got to LV. I believe it indicates your truck is being unloaded.

My truck's delivery date was 7/22 to 7/28 to a dealership in the Greater Sacramento area and my FordPass is still showing Activation Pending.

This whole process is maddening.

Mine got declined when they shipped it.

But didn't get declined when they unloaded it at LV.

If I do see another decline, I will assume it's at the dealer (if the dealer doesn't inform me in advance).

Good deal. Keep me posted as we have the same build in the same city.

New information from UP Trace. Yesterday it had an estimate of arrival at industry of 10AM on the 29th.

This morning it says - Loaded / Placed at Industry, July 28th, 11:27AM. Current Status - Hold to unload. Since my dealer is in the Sacramento area, I assume that it is now in Las Vegas and will be trucked to the dealership. At least that is what I hope. Estimate for arrival at dealership still is 7/31 to 8/6.

Every time I've called the UP tracking, it's noted that the freight car is empty. Guessing that it means it was unloaded and that my truck isn't on the train anymore, no?

Interesting... Are you calling for this info or is it a website?

Same here. That's what I have been assuming

I am calling the UP automated phone line: 800 - 877-5123, following the trace prompts and providing the railcar number. I do not speak to a representative. I really don't know how to interpret the information and am only taking my best guess. This does not provide any actual location information. I have been assuming that "industry" is Las Vegas, but I am not certain about that either. My original thought was that it would go to Richmond, but based upon what I am hearing from others, it seems like Las Vegas is more likely. Built 6/30, shipped 7/12

Same info for my railcar. It's finally happening. The little engine that couldn't finally has made it. Now let's see what kind of wait we are in for since there has got to be train loads of lightnings waiting in Vegas. Here's hoping for staying withing that delivery date .
