sbornitz Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Now that the 2nd qtr scheduling is roughly a month away :happy feet: I was wondering how to find out if my car will be transported by truck or by train and truck? My dealer is just outside of Madison WI. Any info or help would be appreciated. It seems that rail shipments take longer and I just want to be prepared. If it would come by rail what company would be used? Also where is the rail yard that it would get dropped at? Thank again. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbornitz Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 I heard it was via this method At least if they use this method it should be transported by itself so I do not have to worry about it hitting another car on the transport or getting the chin spoiler hit during unloading.

Son of GT Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Actually sbornitz, due to the impending rail strike, Ford is going to try a new "way forward" plan to deliver cars to their customers. They will send you a one way ticket on Greyhound from your home town to AAI, and then you just drive your car back home from there. All you need is your driver's license, proof of insurance, and the $5,000 dollar "Museum Delvery fee" and you're on your way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I spoke to Ford, they told me that anything over 300 miles would come rail car. However, mine came via car hauler...not rail. Also, Marc@Kentucky's car was a bit farther than mine, and I think his came via hauler as well...perhaps you can PM him. Good luck. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that delivery fee is steeper than my dealer ADM. I guess I will have to wait until the car ships to find out how it is going. Or I could ask my dealer how the rest of their cars are shipped.

Steve An official Ford Source told me personally that all Wisconsin deliveries were going strictly by paddle-type riverboats. HSURB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbornitz Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I was debating between a cheese joke and the dogsled photo... didn't want to offend with the joke though. It's just too easy... It would have taken a lot more than any of that to get to me. I am a laid back person which is why I don't understand why people get upset over such small things. Anyways maybe back to topic unless of course others have any ideas on how the car will be transported? I guess I will plan on my car being the last one of the 07 model year line and then it will get transported by train so it won't be here for a long friggin time .

Nitzy, All joking aside, I am 99% certain that it will go out by rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
