Supposedly I'm going on COER900543, but when I call Norfolk Southern I cannot understand what their tracking is trying to say. Sounds cut-off. No change on any of the trackers, so we'll see!

Super useful information! Those were the steps I took, but I could not understand that robot at all. Wife may be right about me getting old.COER. That's Crab Orchard & Egyptian RR. WTH??
I took the liberty of calling NS with your info since I'm well practiced from earlier in the week.
I heard ROLD Melvindale MI as of 11:53 (EDT) 8/11. So I think your car is waiting to be loaded.
When you call N.S. here is the info you can input after the prompts for your car:
Automotive Shipping Norfolk Southern
800-635-5768
select 2
select 2
enter 2637 (numeric values for COER)
enter 900543 (your car number)
When your train is on the move when the railcar passes a scanner, the position will be updated in their system. It can be a bit confusing listening to the voice info because you'll hear something like "Clapperscanner" Missouri. That is actually the Clapper MO scanner. Clapper isn't on their map since they don't stop there so have Google Maps handy to start searching for appropriately named towns.
Here is a link of the detailed NS system map. When your train is on the move and you call every hour to see what is going on you can follow it on the map.

Wait a couple days, then call chat Ford C/S for a rail number, then track from there.OrderTrack.app now showing mine as "In Transit", but this is not the first time. The last time this status changed it seemed to correlate with changing parking lots (59 to 58). No other trackers or emails to confirm movement. Hopeful it's for real this time.
