Sorry, was building Challies and Stangs online with my girl.
I will call customer service tomorrow to see if they could tell me my railcar # and where my car is now.
I doubt I will get my car by my ETA but maybe monday? I'd rather have it for the weekend.

Jokerstars -- if it's on the same train as mine (and it probably is) it's in Ohio as of last night. It will likely go to MD or south of Richmond before being loaded onto a truck and taken to your dealer. Same for HokieCodeMonkey. We'll probably all have our cars by this weekend.

It's going to be my dealer's first 5.0 so I am not going to let them do burnouts or let kids play in it. =P

If it arrives on Saturday I need to have insurance and financing ready by Friday. I'm going to call my salesman tomorrow evening and find out where it is so I know whether to have that stuff ready.

I checked first thing this morning and the train with my Gt was in Walbridge, OH as of 10 pm last night. Railcar #ETTX803496
Just checked it and now it says "no status". So who knows.
I also checked the CSX train schedule, it looks like it takes 6 days for it to get to Twin Oaks center (Just outside Philly), That would be Sunday. Then it gets on a truck to Jeff at the dealership.
I'm thinking realistically, mid to late next week picking up this car if there are no problems.

I think thats a major terminal for cars, just outside of Philly but if your dealer is near DC you may not be going there.
Status now says train departed Walbridge, Oh at 7:19am enroute Connelsville, PA. No ETA was given, but that leg is about 250 miles....the halfway point!

Thats what CSX online schedule said, but who knows. I may be wrong.

How are you tracking the railcar? I went to the CSX website but must be an idiot.
