Train ride to SoCal

[jerock]

UP doesn't go through Emporia. Up Goes through Topeka,

@Avocadodude is your truck still in KS? I’m following my truck and late last night it started moving west again. Has been moving slightly in between IL and IN this weekend. But now, it’s passing Iowa and nearing KS. Curious if they are awaiting more California bound rail cars in KS .

Also, I found that the automated UP trace isn’t slightly delayed as well. My truck was well outside the Hammond IN Interchange last night but when I called UP, the trace still reported it to have “arrived at Interchange” like it had done all day. In fact, it’s still reporting only as “arrived” but I can see it moving west near Argyle, IA right now.

It's on BNSF rails, riding on the old Santa Fe Transcon. The tracking can be done using the UP system.

You might be on to something about them waiting for more San Diego bound Lightnings. My Railcar is in Riverdale, IL as of this morning still on Canadian Railways. I’m waiting for it to switch to UP or BNSF so I can stop bothering Ford Chat and call myself lol

According to FordPass, my truck is heading towards KC right now. I think you guys are a bit west of KC? So mine is in transit, but UP trace only says “arrived” and gives no location.

My salesman (Rauly) said they are expecting 3 of them (including mine) on Wed. Maybe yours is one.

Just spoke to the dealer. They got three in this morning. White platinum and two lariats. Hope one of these is yours. Mine is still stuck, I think.

The Stone Quartz is mine. I got the delivery notification. I can’t get there until Saturday unfortunately, but it’ll be right at 9am.

Do you guys know what date your trains actually left IL? Thanks!

Mine left just this morning. They have been underway all night and day. It’s currently approaching Topeka, KS just west of Kansas City. Possibly heading towards @Avocadodude truck in Emporia?
