My car, en route to STL has been in decatur since the 24th, and will not move until this monday the 29th...5 days of no movement. Its still possible it will sit at the destination rail yard as well, dealer expect it to sit at the local rail yard for 2-4 days. I'm the unlucky type.
Each yard has a servicing schedule for each customer, the scheduling has built in time from arrival at the yard to spotting at the customer. if car arrives after what the railroads call cut off times it will sit for the next scheduled servicing time.

Frustrating for us all especially those if us that work at the railroads and are also waiting on their cars to be spotted and delivered. my car is being delivered by the railroad I work for and its been in KC since night of 23rd. departing to Omaha tonight, but will miss that cut of time and will not be spotted until Monday!

My car was built on 12-17-14 and I took delivery on 12-26 (yesterday). Came by convey only (no Rail). I think every one involved with delivery is trying their best to get the cars actually sold by 12-31-14 for fourth quarter earnings and tax reasons too. Bet you that are waiting will be smiling by close of business on 12-31-14. Hope so cause I have been since yesterday.

If the rail car is being shipped on the UP or the BNSF send me the railcar number I can track it and see where it is. If its on BNSF I can tell you estimated arrival at destination yard.

Mine's been sitting at the rail yard waiting on a truck since the 23rd, and my EDD in Cotus just got bumped again to the 4th of January. And it's only about 20 miles from my dealership!

Mine has been at a rail yard since before Christmas as well and its only 3 hours away. Cotus is still showing an EDD of 1/15/14 for me and the salesman told me a couple weeks ago he expected between 1/5-1/15 but I am refusing to believe both and I am keep hope for tomorrow or Tuesday so it can still be a happy new year

Luckily, the railroad yard is only a couple of miles from my dealer and is small enough that BNSF pushes the dealers to come get their cars ASAP.
