They use them all, but there's usually hand offs at various yards. Most western rail traffic is serviced by Union Pacific and BNSF.

have you successfully tracked yours yet?
Yeah, train car arrived at destination in Voltz, MO. 3 hour drive from dealership. Supposedly, it will now take over 10 days to travel 3 hours by carrier. Doesn't really matter, tho, as I can't pick it up until after Roush releases their Tune.

Not sure on same shipment or not, ford sent me an email saying shipped Saturday March 20th.
Ordered a Twister Orange GT Premium, same dealer (Granger Ford). But I am local, so hopefully I wake up to a Voicemail saying its in come get it soon....(I work overnights, so that would be a cool thing to wake up to in the afternoon).

@Matthewstorm could you post up details on how you are able to track your car while it was on the rail?

I called Ford Marketing. 8003344375
Asked the location of my vehicle on the railcar. Gave my VIN. I also asked them for my railcar number. Should be ETTX xxxxxx.

Most times it worked fine. Then suddenly I got these folks who treated the info like a national security matter. So, I just hung up and called back.

Today I called Northern. 8006355768
That's how I found out the railcar was at its destination and being offloaded onto a car carrier.

I’m eager to try that when mine ships. Really want to be at the dealer when it arrives

I was really hopeful this would show up early...like this week early, but so far no luck.

I just pinged my dealer, and my car is still somewhere on the train, currently riding through Montana. The original ETA of 3/31 has not changed so far.
