Stuck in Flat Rock!
My CO Boss was completed on Aug 16th, then sat for a week at Ramp 51; moved to Ramp 5P awaiting transport for 2 days; and then was (apparently) loaded on a railcar @ 6:26 AM on Aug 26th.
However, it's been sitting in Flat Rock, MI for 5 days. The Primary Status in the Ford computer is "In Transit"; but the Secondary Status is "Delay-- Conveyance Mechanical Failure, Canadian National Railway"
How long do you let a train sit before you get it moving again?
Deysha, can you shed some light on what is happening with my Boss (and probably a lot of other Bosses headed west) ? Thanks
PM sent with VIN

Don't worry Charlie, the car will get to you shortly and then you can have a blast in it.

Charlie, read this thread. If I remember, CN just moves the car around Flat Rock, it's then transferred to CSX or UP for the trip out west.

The ETTX number is the actual number of the rail car and is independent of the rail carrier.
Here's a pic of the Autorack car:
