SoCalSGT Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Anyone here know someone who can track railcars? ETTX904559 This used to work...might be worth a try: When the cars finally start moving, most of them will move by rail. They will be transported to a railroad distribution center, where they will be offloaded and parked, and then be parked, awaiting over-the-road hauling. These rail distribution centers are all over Canada and the U.S. I've compiled the web addresses of the railroads and their distribution centers: CSX Transportation (formerly Conrail): http://www.csx.com/?...tomers.tdsi_gis CPR (Canadian Pacific Railroad): http://www8.cpr.ca/c....ve/default.htm UP (Union Pacific): UP: Automotive Facilities NS (Norfolk & Southern): http://www.nscorp.co....ve/Facilities/ BNSF Railway: BNSF Prospective Customer - Consumer Products - Automotive CNR (Canadian National Railway): http://www.cn.ca/en/....e-autoport.htm KCS (Kansas City Southern Railway): http://www.kcsouther....system_map.pdf A&S (Alton & Southern; switching railroad company in St. Louis) Alton & Southern When your car is finally loaded onto a train car (called AutoRack), a railcar number will be assigned. Your dealer can call the Dealer Business Center and get the actual railroad company and the railcar number. The DBC can also provide the railyard that will receive your car. Once you have those pieces of info, you will be able to track your car as it moves thru the country. All of the railroads listed have a tracking system in place. An online one for customers and a phone-in one for everybody else. The phone numbers are in the links I provided. You can call them up, give them your railcar number, and they can tell you where your car is and what the ETA is. Once the vehicle reaches the railyard, it will be unloaded and "bayed", awaiting over-the-road transport. The phone numbers to the distribution centers are in those links as well. AND, the over-the-road haulers that serve the particular distribution center you're looking at are listed as well. You can take the name of the hauler listed, Google them, and come up with a phone number if you desire. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubbsFaris Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Well, some people can just call the number and get called back without leaving a message... Others like me leave messages for days and do a whole lot of this- I guess just build it any way you want guys....what does being the customer matter in giving my input?

DubbsFaris Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Now Michael, don't make me do this to you- Still, I was getting worried that the original stuff I asked for is what SA would do when they recieved the car, but, just talked to Roger, and I feel much better. He assured me all owners will get a phone call to go over final build decisions before they turn a wrench... Not that Im fickle, its just more than a few things have changed on this car's design...it confuses me to give me choices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerS Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Warren, As we have stated, once the car arrives the sales staff will be in contact with each owner to finalized build and options. Good to catch up today. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubbsFaris Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Sean! But Im sure he is missed there! Thanks, Roger. Good talk and info...still need to figure a few details out on what I want, but a lot of these things have a way of just working out. Im still second guessing going with the Shaker 1000 in my GT500....from 2008. MM- My main question was the new brochure "appeared to have 2 seperate interior upgrades, and I needed clarification, but Roger gave me the lowdown. One interior for the base GT interior, and the premium interior gets a different upgrade...hence the 2 different listings under options. Then the NA v SC argument is ongoing.... The stripes all the way down werent "exactly" put into option, but I remember hearing it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
