I got a rail car number from Ford today and called the automated tracking line. (thanks for the pointer @TaxmanHog) It recognised the railcar number but no ETA available.
Ford chat told me that it was in Flat Rock MI on ramp 51 if that means anything?

Hopefully they will be rolling out of town in a day or so, it takes a couple days to assemble the complete run of rail cars to the west coast.
15 Recent deliveries have averaged ~20 days, I hope you gave it before the end of the year!

The dealer actually signed me up for live tracking updates on vinview and I just got a text saying the train had arrived in Riverdale IL and estimated delivery to dealer was 12/25. Merry Christmas!!Hopefully they will be rolling out of town in a day or so, it takes a couple days to assemble the complete run of rail cars to the west coast.

From my experience Ramp 51 means they don't know where it's at. Mine was on Ramp 51 until I was holding the keys.
Also, if it's actually down the road from your dealer, they might be willing to sell it to you before they have it in hand. There's some period of time where it leaves Ford inventory and goes into your dealership inventory and, from what my dealer told me, he would have been willing to sell it to me then. I believe he told me once it was within 500 miles but it didn't matter after all so I never tested it. Worth asking about if you're sitting on a 12/25-29 ETA, though.

Thank you both.Good luck!
I just this second got a vinview update text that the car has arrived in Richmond CA which is actually closer to me than the dealer. Let's see how quickly they can get it off the train and onto a truck.
What an eventful (painful!) journey to get a truck.
@TaxmanHog when you say I'm last man standing do you somehow track every order or you are referring to last man standing from those that provided you with VIN numbers?

Of those on the forum who shared a record on the official tracker, I have stopped picking up more records a while ago, so possibly there are still a couple of folks lingering out there, -BUT- they are not actively engaged in conversation on the MY 22 build week threads, so, as far as I'm concerned, you're the last of the forum MY22 orders to be delivered.

ETA changed to 12/31 ---> 1/6/23, that means it might be loading onto a convoy soon!!
