Mine was built the same week as yours but is still awaiting shipment. You are in west TN and I am in East TN. Seems to me that they should have shipped about the same time. Ah, well. The ways of Ford are many and mysterious.

Bummer!! Just found out that my Boss was 'Returned to Plant' yesterday at 2:05 PM. Anybody else in the same boat? My build date was 05/20 and is still showing a 06/10 ETA.

Does anyone know how to track rail cars other than CSX? I'm on the West Coast so will mine be shipped via Union Pacific? Does the rail car number stay the same from start to finish or does it change if the carrier changes?

is CSX Canadian National?
mine was listed as having been with Canadian National Railway. I called them, based on the phone # I found in another thread for CSX. they gave me some info, and also referred me to Union Pacific, who now has the railcar. their # is 800.272.8777
they have an automated system that will track the car. I suspect your car will end up in Benicia, same as mine. and, yes, same rail car #

oh, and in case anyone's driving past silver creek, NE...
my car just left there at 5:08 eastern heading west with a wet coast eta of 7am sat june 11 - in 'industry'....so I'm not sure if it goes to the socal 'Industry' then heads north...or if there's a designation for Benicia that's something like that.
anyhow, more that anybody other than me cares to know...but there you go.
mine went from flat rock, MI to Gibson, IN to Silver Creek, NE...

fuhrius-
Thanks for the 800 automated number. However, how did you get your initial rail car number... as I would like to do the same detailed tracking as you are. I just want to ask the right question when I call FCS. THANKS

hmmmm...
I actually got it from someone I know at Ford (I used to work there...ironically, my last job there was managing all of the inventory scheduling / flow to the western region of the US...that was about 15 years ago).
I believe the dealer can get it for you. Deysha (FCS) may also be able to...but I don't know.
a 'well-formed' # will look something like this: ETTX702385
oh mine's now 30 miles west of silver creek, NE...just kidding.
