yrrej48 Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 My GT500 is arriving at the Kansas City mixinng facility on 12/24. It came from Flat Rock to KC on Norfolk Southern RR. At KC it has to change to BSNF RR for the remainder of the rail trip to Amarillo Texas. My question is do all the rail roads share the same mixing facility in KC? Who operates the mixing facility, Ford or the rail roads, and which railroad. After the trouble with getting it out of Flat Rock, another long story, I don't want to get lost in Kansas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyGal Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I'm new at all of this. How do you track your car? My dealer has no clue where mine is. They assume it's still in Michigan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alloy Dave Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I'm new at all of this. How do you track your car? My dealer has no clue where mine is. They assume it's still in Michigan... Call Ford Customer Service at Customer Service: 800-392-3673 Choose option 4, then1, then 2, then give the analyst your VIN They will give you a status.

jaaman Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Sorry to say, but your car will not ship as the Rail companys can no longer afford the High prices of fuel that you like so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yrrej48 Posted December 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 your car will be unloaded very soon. a spot it will be parked in is picked out. its now on its way down the ramp to............... your dealer should be notified sometime today I will let you know as soon as its unloaded Thanks for all the help. I went to the dealer, which is across the street from my car lot, about 2 pm my time and we called the transportation company in Amarillo. It was unloaded and he told us it would be on a truck this afternoon and here tomorrow. It may be really happening, it better I paid them for it today!! ONE MORE DAY. :happy feet: :banana piano: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yrrej48 Posted December 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Did you sleep last night Jerry? I took a couple of tylenol pm's and slept good. I saw the truck pull up at 9:30, walked across the street and took pictures. When it came off the truck I drove it to service for the pdi. Has 9.1 miles. I have it in my shop now, I want to remove all the plastic and clean it myself. Now the bad news, it rains 4 days a year in West Texas, and it is pouring rain today. I can't drive it. Suppose to clear up this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyGal Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Get your railcar number from Ford Customer Service and PM FastBackMan. He should be able to track it for you. Ford sucks! Told me to call my dealer. My vehicle status is... it's been released from the plant and has an estimated arrival date of 12-13. No rail car number, nothing! Of course I knew all this stuff when I left a deposit on Dec 4. Guess it's just a waiting game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it's just a waiting game... Yes, I am in the same boat. Getting the rail car number is not easy sometimes. There was even one guy who got his car...and CS told him it wasn't even released yet. I have a sneaky feeling that many people are now awaiting the changing out of brake cables from the quality hold. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
