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

Show some compassion. It would be agonizing to know your car is just sitting there. The old saying is-"ignorance is bliss" and for the most part it is very true.

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

Mine did sit there. Ordered my 500 June 21 birthed Sept 30 arrived Oct 25. I was told 6 weeks not 4 months, but what are you going to do?

I know it's tough, but it will get there when it gets there. Constantly checking, especially when nothing is happening, will drive you crazy!
Try to engage yourself with some other activity.

Back in April I tracked my rail car from flat rock to Benecia. I forgot the number, but I found it on one of the forums, maybe this one.

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.

Got it. Thanks. I sent an email to CNR customer service with the car number. We'll see. I'll try the phone number too. Railcar number is ETTX854403.......if a forum member knows what rail line that is

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:

CN CSC emailed that the railcar left Flat Rock @ 1615 hrs today.

Now that's what we're talking about. Now you can track it by phone.
