Railcar departed Kansas tonight!
Now it departed Alva, Oklahoma

I’m interested if we are on the same train now @jredondox and @Avocadodude? My truck is currently stopped in Clovis NM. What are your trackers saying?

Also, how are you getting specific locations? When I call UP, I get a generic “departed” or “arrived” but no location provided. I’m doing everything via FordPass.

We call the 1800 number and get last location departed or arrived. I just called and it says it departed Panhandle, tx which is not far from Clovis!!!! We are definitely on the same train now

That’s awesome! Well, you’re welcome my truck arrived lol! Seems like they were just waiting for more CA bound trucks. Hopefully it’s a quick shot to Barstow and they get they business in order down there.

What does your ford APL says? Seems like it’s moving fast now!

You mean the Ford “pizza tracker” or my FordPass?

FordPass shows us parked in Clovis, NM since midnight.

1800 said departed Melrose, NM an hour ago

Then we might not be on the same train after all. Mine is still sitting in a yard in Clovis, NM.

My truck hit Mira Loma (SoCal) last Friday 6/10. Since then it has been “place at industry” and is “held to unload.” Anyone know how long it typically takes for it to arrive at the dealer. My dealer is about 30 miles away from the train station, Robins Ford. So close! Technically my delivery date range is 6/24-6/30. Thought I was maybe going to be early like I’ve seen with many others.

Tehachapi loop train cams

If you guys ever track your trains going threw the Tahacapi Loop you can watch it live going threw the loop.

The loop is very famous with train lovers so much that they have 3 live cameras 24/7, one camera before the loop one at the loop and one Leaving the loop.
The south cam is located at a couples home that they turned into a bed n breakfast for train enthusiasts to sit there and watch trains go by all day.
The loop helps the train get up a grade by doing it on a circle and looping itself.

Also in the chat you can track trains with other people.

I've been there twice filming with my drones.


______________________________------------
This one is a ptz camera that you can move and zoom in so it scans the intire loop.

Yes, we are west of KC, Arrived in KC on 8th and then Emporia on 10th.

Just got an email from ford. I didn’t know they sent pics of final moment of truck being built. Pretty cool .

As of yesterday, it’s still stuck in Blue Island, IL. 7 days to go for my delivery window, it looks like I won’t be an early delivery unfortunately
