Its been a long time since I had to track a car going by RAIL, (when my Camaro was shipped from the factory in Canada) but after a little research on line I gained access to the automated delivery system to track the actual railcar that my truck is on......just checked and it made it to St. Louis overnight.

That process is both exciting and painful!

I remember tracking both of my Camaros this way...exciting times.

Sir Nuke · 03-31-2019, 10:07 PM

well from 6:33 am till 9:27 p.m. it only went 11 miles down to Kell, Ill. but it did turn south, so that's a plus.

Sir Nuke · 04-01-2019, 05:31 AM

WOO HOO!!! its moving now, at 5:11 am it just left Jonesboro, Ark. it will most likely make it to Texas today!!

I think it has 48 stops more before Texas...

I've never tracked a new vehicle order before...sounds like fun!

Looking forward to seeing it in your driveway Sir Nuke!

Sir Nuke · 04-01-2019, 10:21 AM

its really moving now!! its only 10 am and its nearly half way across Arkansas already!! considering how far its gone since last night, its right at half way here, its POSSIBLE it could be in Houston by morning!

Once it makes it to your nearest rail-yard drop off point, hopefully it doesn't sit there too long. Sometimes that can take a short while.

True....and I know exactly where its last stop is....it will just be a matter of a transport company getting a whole load before they take off with them.
