I see something about one march 7 this year that was near Springfield Ohio.

I remember about a year or so ago there was a large one that damaged a lot of Ford vehicles but I don't recall the details.

Ah thanks - looked it up and all I could find a video where Ford trucks were damaged and shown on video being pulled out by forklift thru the windshield.

That may be the one where my 57 week ordered Mustang Mach E was also involved.

Got a call from the general manager of my dealership today and said my MME was burned in a fire after the train derailed.

That sucks. Hopefully they can get another car on it's way to you quickly.

I love that these smashed up trucks are running and being driven after the forklift pulls them out of the rubble. Awesome video.

Thanks to another courteous member, I was able to find out my replacement MME had shipped with a railcar #.

New window sticker shows lower price from Feb '23 price drop but not the latest 23.5 Job 2 price drops.

Will have to see if the dealer will change out the window sticker upon delivery.
