**** First you will need the rail car letters and numbers. It is on the visibility report or DORA which is from the dealership. You MAY be able to get it from the CHEVY CHAT ????? or your dealer. CSX is everything east of the mississippi UP is everything west of the mississippi But they all start out on CSX so once they have it in their system they will follow it all the way. So, how do you track your car on a railcar? First and most important. Never talk to live personnel at the railroad! Only use automated phone system. If it attempts to transfer you to a live person please hang up. The railcar information we are provided by is given as a courtesy and if we call live personnel we may lose the access and ability to track. CSX 1. Call the CSX 1-800-235-2352 2. When prompted for location or weight, press "1" on your phone for location. 3. When prompted for the car initials, say CN (or whatever initials you have) then wait for the next prompt. 4. When prompted for the car number, say 907048 (or whatever your number is) 5. When prompted for next car say DONE. 6. That's it; enjoy your updated status report.

I am still hoping Chevrolet Customer Service will be allowed to pass on these reports of how exceedingly efficient and pleasing using rail to deliver Corvette orders is to buyers. (All pretensions to sarcasm intended.) I also suspect not all rail auto carrier cars can take Corvettes, but can not think of how to determine if I am right or wrong. Laborsmith |

One tweak for tracking
Quote:
AdrianS posted this from another forum (corvetteforum.com) and it worked like a charm. The only difference is Step 3 is When prompted for car initials, either say ETTX or press32-81-81-92 and wait. I used the keypad and it works fine. |

Thank you so much for the detailed itinerary! I wonder how the route to the Bay Area will be different. I'm assuming it comes through Sacramento instead of following the same route from socal then coming up north. Either way it looks like I should expect her in time for Valentine's Day
