Ford chat just said " Current location shows Ramp 27, Mira Loma, CA" Wonder how long until on truck to dealer in Valencia?

Yes, I believe it's on Union Pacific.

That I wouldn’t have a clue. Try looking around in the Mach E forum to see how long theirs took after hitting Mira Loma. You should beat that one in Barstow if you have already hit Mira Loma. I only know BNSF things.

Ford chat also said that ETA for "start of travel to my dealer is 6/25"
I'm guessing train to truck then and that it will sit somewhere for a while if it's only 80 miles from my dealer right now?

My Mach E beat Ford Chat’s ETA by a month. They also told me it was on a hold in Richmond only for it to show up at my dealer the next morning.

In @TaxmanHog tracker I don't see any CA deliveries yet.

He might end up being the 1st then. His train left Blue Island evening of 6/4. Quick trip so far I’d say.

I'm watching this thread for delivery data, but don't forget to mention in your build week threads, I'm reading those threads minute by minute during the morning until around 1300 EDT

Nope, just didn’t want you to hyperventilate

At 01:37 the rail car arrived in Kansas City, basically exactly what @Emersonsdad said would happen. Also according to his post (which is a great read https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/bnsf-burlington-northern-santa-fe-rail-tracking.15402/) I should be following this route Wellington, KS->Amarillo, TX->Clovis, NM->Belen, NM->Winslow, AZ->Needles, Ca->Barstow, Ca.

Just realized @REDHORSECA posted a great route map, missed that earlier (and thank you for sharing) https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/train-ride-to-socal.10619/post-216950
