Not to hijack, but this has potential to be a pretty informative thread.

Below is how you can track Railcars with CSX:

Call: 800-235-2352
After prompt, say: Location
After prompt, say: The 4 letter railcar prefix
After prompt, say: The railcar number
After prompt, say: Done

The Ford Chat rep can provide you with the CSX Railcar Number, but you may have to prompt them by specifically asking for the location of your vehicle.

it only says when it shipped no other information.

Has anyone figured out how to track on Canadian National (CN)? Mine has been shipped via CN and I would like to track the progress. The tracker keeps changing my ETA daily

call 1-800-877-5123 click option 1 for English's, they say trace when they ask and speak your railcar number they will ask for fax i say no, all it said for me since i started to track it was, shipped and date, or arrived and date, but never told me any location.

so really it was pointless.

I tried this today with the rail car number provided by Ford chat. Works like a champ! Found out where my car is and when delivery is expected at the port. Looks like the potential to have my car in my garage next weekend! If anyone is looking to track the rail car this is the way to go.

What a minute was looking at this post last night too . When did your car ship? And is it with Canadian National?

Shipped either yesterday or today. Ford chat provided the rail car number. It is shipping with CSX. The tracker listed it as shipped to New Boston on Oct 24, but it sat for a couple days there. Hope that helps!

I called and used the number that was provided and it said empty and in Colorado lol. But Ford chat gives me 11/7-11/20 as estimated delivery. So I assume my car is setting at a rail yard or something. At least i know it's assigned something.

I had the same issue. Decided to just call CN customer service , explained the situation, got scolded a bit for having the rail car #, asked for my vehicle VIN, came back on the phone and said that the railcar was sitting in Calgary AB. She was very helpful...worth a shot.

Call your salesman. The dealership has tracking software that will show exactly where it's at. Dearborn Truck Ramp 59 to Las Vegas. He called me every day and told me exactly where it was, even if moving. Picked mine up today! Fun.

I’m also in Vegas. My car shipped on 10/10, how long did it take you to receive your car since shipping to Vegas? Thanks

Megaman, I'm sorry to say, but it took a month from when it shipped until when I picked it up at the dealership. First stop was a rail yard in Aurora IL. It sat there for about a week. Next stop was N Platte NE. Another week give or take. Finally arrived in Las Vegas and sat in a yard for another week before it was unloaded and shipped to the dealer. Hopefully, it will go faster for you. Your salesman can access the program and tell you exactly where it is on a real-time basis. I tried the directions from the posts here, but it didn't work. You needed an account with the railroad.

Oh man I hope that’s not the case lol. I appreciate the insight anyhow. Thank you.
