Train ride to SoCal

[uwquigman]

Just called UP for my rail car# (TTGX159217) and it says schedule to arrive Industry (Which I assume is Mira Loma) 6/10 at 6AM. So hopefully they can get it from Mira Loma to my dealer in South Orange County in a couple of days? Maybe I can get it this weekend!

I think we might be on the same train or close behind? I’m in South OC. Mine is on Railcar # CP 542584. Said it is supposed to arrive at industry tomorrow as well (But in the afternoon). I hope I can get mine early next week!

Scratch that. Just called again. Going to arrive at 6:15 AM tomorrow. Now I am feeling even more hopeful!

Just called UP and the railcar arrived this AM at beautiful Mira Loma, CA. So excited but now I've got to wait to see when it can get from there to my dealer here in South OC......

I did the same thing. Let me know if you hear anything from your dealer on how long it is going to be. I haven’t gotten an update yet. My buddy just got a bronco. And it was six days from when his truck got to Mira loma to delivery. One of those days was Memorial Day, so maybe only 5 days for us? Fingers crossed!

On another thread there's a Lightning owner in So Cal who's railcar arrived Tuesday evening and it arrived at the dealership this AM....So thinking more like 3-4 days!

Well my rail car is in Emporia, KS, which looks like it's on the way to Wellington, KS (which I thought would be next stop after Kansas City). Arrived today 06/10 at 11:30am.

The rail car seems to move about 100 miles a day, so maybe only another 14 days to get to CA .

I'm just having fun BTW, I have a completely new found respect for people running these trains after reading about how they are scheduled (Hi-Viz). As a farmer I am thankful for everything and take nothing for granted. I appreciate every person working the trains that are getting our vehicles delivered.

My MME made it to Cali in 2 days, Barstow in 2 1/2. Barstow is where a big delay can happen. A couple of days to a few weeks. Luck of the draw getting through Barstow.

Too bad we can't just pick them up in Barstow, doesn't even need to be charged, just enough to get to the Cajon Pass.

I know, when my MME hit Barstow I went and looked at it in the railcar. Took a couple of pics. I would of took it right then if possible.
