Ford chat should tell you approximate State rail car is at.

After tracking thru a few States using Ford chat Intel I figured out the route and more importantly the rail company.

Rail company won't release any info so I figured out which railyard it would be going to as its final destination. I then Googled transporters for that railyard and called them acting as if I was the final destination dealership. I gave last 8 of VIN until I found the right transporter.

Then I called the transporter each day for ETA to dealership. They will wait until the transport truck has a full load.

Next thing I know truck is delivered.

yes, in Southern California. the time is really all over the map but in my case, it took about 1 week for the train to leave Detroit and deliver to rail yard. Then about 2-3 days before it was delivered to dealership.

where in California are you? If its SoCal, I can share railyard info

So here’s how mine played out. I haven’t even been to the dealer yet as it arrived yesterday afternoon and I’m away.
Ordered 2/28
Shipped 4/23
Delivered 4/30
Can’t wait to get her in my hands!

Thats great, congrats! I ordered around the same time as you 2/24, but all I get are crickets... No VIN yet, hoping to get the truck before June.

Figure out final destination railyard for autos then call local transport companies acting like you are from the dealership to get ETA to dealership

I can’t believe this thread is still going. 19’s are everywhere... new and used.
