What is your rail car number? I've got a private thread with a few other people. We "Had" two rail cars together coming to DFW. Unfortunately one of rail cars has had a problem and been dropped off. They are no longer travelling together, even though they made it form Dearborn through Salem together.

Does railcar info stay the same? Or switch?

Rail car remains the same, they don't move vehicles from one car to another during the route, they just share the rail car among the rail carriers.

I will check yours as soon as my meeting is over, but we have two cars destined for DFW NOKL798319 and TTGX159807 - should arrive morning of 7/14 in "Industry" at DFW. I would think your rail car travels most of that way with us or maybe splits off in Mephis perhaps and heads more West along I-40 route, just don't know what their whole map looks like. Will have an update in about 20 minutes.

@illusion86 - So your rail car is on the move now - "Departed at 2:17 PM" - but that just means a new crew picked up the consist(train) and are moving again. It says you arrived in Salem, IL, which is the Candian/Union Pacific interchange on at 6:02 AM this morning. So you are now on UP and moving. It says your arrival at Industry (the destination) is July 16 at 6:02 AM.

What I don't know is if every destination is called "Industry" or not, but that is what they refer to for Mesquite ramp here in the DFW area. So you are either headed all the way to Mesquite and then back up to OK or will be trucked to OK. OR "Industry" could just be an insider term for any rail yard and you may be headed more West and you'll hit your destination rail yard on July 16 at 6:02 AM.

What is the Ramp listed on your sticker? If it is CA34 - that is the Mesquite ramp here in DFW.

This is from @rlbussard

You can call Union Pacific at 800.877.5123 and wait for the prompt for English and press 1.
Then when it asks you say trace
When it asks you how many pieces of equipment say 1
Give the railcar number when it asks TTGX159807
Would you like a fax copy say No unless you have a fax number.
Then it will give you the railcar information if you said no to fax. If you said yes just follow the rest of the prompts.


Knowing you are coming to FW - con you confirm your ramp on your sticker? I thought there was a ramp in the FW area, but if it says CA34, then it is Mesquite and your dealer will have a pretty good treck to go pick it up. You are getting very close however.

Any other 5/30 orphans see any movement? Activation still pending on my end, nothing further.

Nothing here. I have been "Activation Pending" for a few days now. Was denied a couple of weeks ago.

Mine either just got denied or expired actually within last 30 minutes...hopefully that's some news

Don't get hung up on not being able to activate. Mine was activated couple of weeks ago and everyday day with new hope I check for any changes but still sitting at the same spot they parked more than 2 weeks now. They have a horrible logistics setup. They are not even capable of shipping the produced vehicles let alone producing new ones. Not sure how they are planning to scale up to over 100K units a year in 2023.
