Grabber Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Your GT500 has been sitting on that railcar for 7 days. The plant was closed for 2 weeks to do some upgrades. The stripe plant did stay open and work and did about 150 GT500's during that 2 weeks. I have a feeling your rail car will get moving in the next day or so. This is very common. A slow boat from China is faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Did you say his GT500 was built in China? Man that sucks. Yes, the Job #1.5 2008 MY cars are hand built in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Michael H Mike, are you from Vancouver ? If your car ships thru BNSF rail, I can check it from my computer with the vin number. I have a private access account with them. Mine was shipped BNSF to the Port here, so just give me a minute and I will check for you. I will be right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Mike, Currently BNSF rail does not have your car. It has me enter the last 8 of your vin #. Is it correct ?

Grabber Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 So you're in Vancouver Canada. I am in Vancouver Washington. I have found that once a car leaves the states, that our tracking over here gets blacked out. The Canadians don't want us here in the States watching movement over there.

Oh8SnakeDriver Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I used this link to track my car LINK Good Luck! Curbhugger, Hey thanks for the link. I checked out my train car # and found that it's located in THOJCT, Illinois, where ever that is. I think it's west of Chicago. If so that sucks as I live west of Chicago also. My dealer is up by Appleton, Wisc. So it looks like I'll be making a road trip up north soon! Thanks again, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again, Mike I would check on mine several times a day, I would use google earth to see were it was located each time it was updated. It will give you an idea as to know when to expect it. I knew where it was going to be unloaded, it took at least 24 hours before it showed it was off loaded, and another 24 hours to get to the dealership.

mikehart99 Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 So you're in Vancouver Canada. I am in Vancouver Washington. I have found that once a car leaves the states, that our tracking over here gets blacked out. The Canadians don't want us here in the States watching movement over there. Hi Grabber, Could you check again on my vin and see if she is moving. I am trying to get a railcar#. Hopefully tomorrow. The wait is starting to get to me. We are going to see David Beckham and the Galaxy in Vancouver for an overnighter in Vancouver Nov 7/8 and it would be real nice to get the car then as the whole family must make the pilgrimage of course. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Rob. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGT500 Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Michael & Grabber: My car was shipped from Flatrock on a CN (Canadian National) railcar. I don't know where they come across the border. As I understand it from Brown Bros., it came right to the rail yard in Vancouver. Can you track Canadian railcars? I have no complaints about delivery time on mine. Car was built April 20/07 and arrived Vancouver May 17th. I feel sorry for you guys who are waiting so long.

Thanks Grabber, I guess Canadians are a little different after all. The Blue Oval guy (RockMan) actually only works for the railroad and is giving me the updates. Currently she is near Chicago heading "west young man"! I will update along the way. I have to go back out to the garage and keep preparing for the birth . Have a great day, I am.
