I used this website back when I was tracking my railcar in September. I believe you click on New trace and type your railcar # and search. Hopefully I attached this link correctly.

I have been tracking my railcar since Sept. Just kidding. I am not sure if it is the way you type the number. Notice my old number had letters if yours did not. I just drove about 800 miles this weekend to Virginia. I am not driving again until I can get all the bugs off the front of my car.

Seems like I may remember that even after I had my railcar number I could not find it immediatly. Maybe your information has just not loaded in the system yet. I know it's painful but it will get there and you wont be able to peel the grin off your face. I still have my grin.

CSX has a phone number to call in to. That's where your car probably is. That number is 800-235-2352, and there's a nicce tutorial to figure out how to enter the rail car number. My car was coming west, so I followed it on here for a while, then when it stopped updating (it had moved to a union Pacific line) I went back to the web link above and tracked it further there.
Good luck, hope it arrives soon!

In the GT/CS forum, I have some info on my trials and tribulations of tracking the rail cars. I have found a number for Norfolk Southern for tracking for them. 1-800-635-5768. It works like a ERL, only nicer..lol.
Also it seams they can track stuff on other rail lines also. Mine went through three different ones, and I was able to back track for a while. As of 8/10/06 my GT/CS is in the local rail yard ready to be put on a truck to my dealer. looking at pos. monday.

Good evening. Hey - you guys are terrific, don't know where or how you come up with all this info. I got my rail car number from Customer Relationship this morning - called CSX and after listening to the directions thre or four times (slow learner) I found out that my rail car was shipped on Aug 9 and as of Aug 12 is in Sharonville, Ohio. Guess that's good, however message was "bad ordered - no ETA or ETI on this car." I know they are talking about the rail car but does anyone have any idea what bad-ordered means???? FUNNY THING IS - about an hour after I got the rail car number from the CR, y dealer called to tell me the rail car number - duh!!

I just found out my car is "on the ground"
waiting to be placed on the truck to the dealer. Man it's great to be able to get all the info, but, tough to wait on other people to get it done when you know it's only a few miles to the dealer. I have been told I "could go to the transport company" and pick up the car but I would be responsible if any damage occured during transport from the factory. So I wait impatiently for the transport company to deliver.

Congratulations PapasMachOne!!
Gotta be double difficult knowing its so close. If the CSX website is correct there is something wrong with the rail car mine is on. The rail car has been in Sharonville, Ohio since Saturday. I guess my 07 is still on it. Maybe give it another day or so and contact the dealer.
Whitestang06,
You're right on with the Mustang fever!!!
