Finally my window sticker popped up. For those people still waiting for their window stickers. Patience is the key for not going nuts waiting, like myself.

So here is a scenario with questions:
We are in Denver, CO; actually a suburb called Centennial. Our dealer is Groove Ford; supposedly the third largest dealer in the nation, according to our sales person. Our car was completed last Monday, 4/25, and confirmed by our dealer in an email: "Your Mustang was released from plant today and sent to transport, eta is still 5/11. Current order status is 'Received- rail (auto warehousing)'".
Our shipping method is "RAIL".
Does anyone know where cars being delivered by 'rail' are dropped off for the Denver area? I know there are a few rail hubs, but I didn't know if the car would come to those, or perhaps be dropped off in Wyoming, or a surrounding state, then hauled by truck the rest of the way to the dealer.
Also, once the cars are offloaded from the rail cars, does the lot have to wait for a big car transport (7-8 car carrier) to be filled up before deliveries can be made, or can smaller car haulers be used, such as 1-2 or 2-4 car haulers? I am trying to gauge how long of a wait there will be once our car reaches the rail destination.
Thanks for any insight on this.

My EDD was today (according to FCS last week), so it looks like it is almost here. Now if that truck can just dodge the tornados...

Mine was like that. It came later than I thought, but my actual build was 3 days later than what the system states, ie told 25 April, but the actual completion was 27 April. Hope it works out well for you my friend.

My only concern now is the huge hail storm we got last night here in Knoxville. Golf-ball sized hail. We had 2 vehicles here at work that were trashed, and the dealer is 2 miles down the road. My luck, my car was on the car carrier, upper deck, protecting a Fiesta underneath!
