Grew up in Vandalia/Englewood area and watched the same.
We should have been focused on making our rail system work smarter for us a long time ago.
Now, we're seeing the results. Beat-up roads, burnt-out truckers.
Yep thats it. I quit trucking after 2 years, couldnt juggle the break the law or lose your ride lifestyle. I grew up in Enon about a mile from the tracks. But when I lived in Fairborn I was right across the tracks from Hope Hotel at the base. In my early 20s I even lived on the path of the torn up second track near Enon Beach in a van. Never saw a service truck once in almost a year.

This country really does need a mid-speed freight rail network across the country and a high speed commuter system up and down the coasts. Thats what will keep us having an edge over developing superpower countries. The ability to smoothly operate our in contry supply chain, which in turn lowers in country manufacturing costs, increasing pay, profits, and r&d.

There's a railcar number on the manifest - anyone on the forum tracking it?

Yeah someone posted this on Facebook last week. Seems to probably be the same area.

I'm pretty sure they're Mavs. You can see the tailgate on one of them that's still in the railcar along with the similar looking taillights (or what's left of them), the fenders and the badges....I saw it was Northernfolk and thought it would've been crazy if Mavericks were on there. Didn't want to be right though...

I know we have had a few MTC member's Mav destroyed in shipment. Can anyone report what Ford does? Does it get re-ordered as a priority 1?

You had me at "malt liquor." Ha ha!
Ouch!!

Well, that's one answer, I was curious about.
How many Mavs fit on a 89 foot Autorack.
Now, I know...

Terrible for the communities impacted by derailment. What are the odds that a bunch of long-awaited ford mavericks would get torched .

There have been a couple of people on Reddit or Facebook who reported that their Mav was shipped but they got an updated delivery date adjusted out to April, I wonder if their Maverick was part of that shipment and now Ford is scrambling to replace it hence the severely delayed delivery date.

For everyone's sake, I'm crossing my fingers this was just an entire fleet order.

I took a quick look at these pics and it doesn't look like the rear license plate is offset to the right. Looks like there is an area in the CENTER of the rear bumper for a license plate? Which would mean it's something else?

I was thinking that at first too but the plate mounts on a plastic bumper and that's gone. Prob the receiver on the one in the train car yet.

Well, Me Bad.

1st The derailment was in Ohio, not Pennsylvania (by about a few miles from the border..)
2nd, I just noticed there was this previous thread on the subject... "Any Mavericks on the train that derailed in Ohio? In this thread, there is a photo (up close) of the Unfortunate Mavs.

Train was heading to Conway, PA from Madison, ILL.

Aside from the ten possible frustrated, Maverick owners. I truly feel for the frustrated citizens of the community of East Palestine, Ohio...

Why do Mavericks made in Mexico need to move from Pittsburgh, PA area to St. Louis, MO area? Is there not a more sensible way from the border to the midwest?

Good eye! I believe you are right, at least for the few where we see the rear bumpers.
