Well I'm in Destin Florida and rally for the Wolverines, so roll over the Tide would be more appropriate! I go to Mullinex in Mobile for my automotive purchases. The Family owned Franchise of dealers is amazing at any of their stores.
I got the First one, next is on you track it next! I'm not even sure I'm on the same train but hopefully the dealer gives me the tracking info this weekend. It would make sense, but I've learned to roll with it.

At intermediary, Bellevue Ohio 0353 this morning.
Regular Guy, I was just thinking if both of our trucks are in the same railcar or same train in another rail car then your Car Initials would be the same. Can you please tell me what's your Car Initials ? Also I saw a post from a guy that had his Truck shipped to New Orleans and he said it took nine days to ship from Detroit to New Orleans so your truck should be delivered in the next few days to the offloading station.

Only him getting his rail car number and tracking them both will tell you if they are together. The rail car numbers are assigned when the rail car is built and are very random at what gets put together in a consist. Two rail cars traveling together today may never be hooked together again in their life as they may take different paths after being unloaded.

While many car numbers begin with the TTGX mine began with NOKL - totally out of left field.

Oh yeah - my truck was delivered long ago. I was just saying for you all to track or truly know if you are traveling together is to get his rail car number and that rail car numbers aren't sequential.

You should contact your dealer and ask for your rail car number - it will likely start with 4 letters (the initials) maybe TTGX or something else and then some numbers. The rail car will show up to them in their VVR - Vehicle Visibility Report.

Yes - all 10 digits are the complete car number. When tracking you enter them all.

Yes got mine from the dealer. TTGX 711878. No tracing info according to Norfolk southern. So Aqua, guess I'm still not on a train?

Anyone know what it means when Norfolk Southern tracing says Not Found? Train Jacked and headed for the chop shop!

Your truck arrived at 0353 Saturday at Bellevue, OH. That's a major classification yard on Norfolk Southern. An awesome member of the forum told me mine is there as well. Nfk. Southern tracker confirmed your number TTGX696913 is there. The other member shared a map I'm sharing here.
