✅ 7/11/22 Lightning Build Week Group

I'm pretty sure we're the most cosmopolitan thread on this forum. We discuss music, film, science and technology (especially trains, occasionally batteries), some food and sports too.

When did we discuss batteries?

Are you by chance making the Vegas trip?

We’re planning a Vegas trip!!? Because I’m down.

If you’re referring to a Ford event/NADA/ETC, I’m not high enough up the totem pole to get invites to that yet.

We should plan a 7/11 build week meet up somewhere

Why wasn’t I invited to this Vegas trip too?! I don’t work for Ford but I might as well be a logistics consultant for them now.

You’re the best consultant they have too, with half the access.

No movement with my rail car overnight. How about you guys?

 

[WoodduckMN]

For those who work for Ford or anywhere else know if there is a way to track rail shipments on CN to Minnesota?

I'm still constructively placed. It looks like they're working though, several Ford Escapes loaded onto united road at the same yard overnight.

Hmm...CN doesn't have an auto distribution center in MN
https://cnebusiness.geomapguide.ca/?map=AM&lang=en&P=am

But Union Pacific does in St Paul. You might be transferring there to UP or possibly BNSF has a line there too.

Do you have your railcar#?

CN has an agreement with CSX, so it's like you can use the same phone system as a start.

Edit: It may be time for me to stop reading about trains...

Thank Yellow Buddy-Railcar # TTGX987072 (Canadian National Railways).

You can try (800)361-0198 and ask for a "railcar trace"

It's a live operator, so you have to be nice. They're not supposed to for retail customers but they're nice Canadian folks and it seems like it works 50% of the time.

I ran the car on CSX and it didn't pull up.
