CSX tracking

[StinDaMin]

I have been following my vehicle since shipping to get an idea of how the route works.
When I call it tells me it’s in Strale New Mexico or Strail, not sure which. I’ve looked at city names alphabetically and can’t find anything. Anyone have access to the CSX online tracker? Curious to see how far into New Mexico this location is.


Thanks!

I wonder if they did the initials thing.. ST Rail could be Saint Teresa Intermodal Rail Terminal which is near the NM/TX/Mexico border.

I bet you’re spot on! Because I checked a little later and it said left the saint Teresa station

Glad to help.. Now, I need to find out where mine is
CSX says "Returned to Rail" as of Friday at 6 AM, with the previous status being in St. Louis.
NS says "Departed on flatcar, Atherton Scanner, MO, May 4, 6:41 AM"
United Road has no record of the VIN, but I also suspect it won't pop there until it hits Dixiana (terminal/yard where its going for last-mile OTR to my dealer).

Atherton is close to KC, which is west of St. Louis. I kind of get it because of the Ohio thing causing reroutes on the path it would take and Atherton is the nearest terminal to reroute from. I just don't know if its on a new railcar, or the one I have is still sitting there not moving for 3 days. I am checking with the dealership tomorrow as I have to go order some parts anyway.

So how does that work? Mine is able to be tracked via CSX right now. At some point it’s going to be dropped off of there? Then I’ll track the same Rail Cart number with a different line?

Generally, they stay on the same rail car to their destination. If you get a 'returned to rail' message from the CSX tracker, try another line. Sometimes though, CSX does track to the destination even if a car changes rail, just not always like in my case where CSX says 'returned to rail' and I have to track via NS now to get updates.

From what little I can find, I did confirm mine is not changing railcars. 'Departed on flatcar" is simply how NS words it for vehicle railcars and their message means it left that station on the date/time given. What really bothers me is that there is no change in the city/location in almost 4 days now when they usually pass through another terminal within a day or two. Mine is either sitting somewhere while going nowhere, or its moving but not being scanned at terminals for whatever reason.

What’s your expected delivery date?

I’ve been tracking mine like crazy haha. Just cool to hear all the different places it’s traveling through. Last update was as of 8:44pm it’s in Harrington Kansas. I feel it’s moving pretty quick as it just shipped on the 4th.

My expected date is between 5/20 and 6/2 on the Ford Tracker, but it has been off every time the last few rounds:

My 2022 Mav had an ETA of 1/30/22, but I took delivery on 1/24, almost a full week earlier.
My 2021 Bronco had an ETA of 11/5/21, but I took delivery on 10/24/21. delivery 12 days earlier.
My 2020 Escape had an ETA of 1/13/20, but I took delivery on 12/29/19. 15 days earlier.

Thanks!

Try other railway companies like Northernfolk and call their line. I had to track mine through multiple companies in order to get a more accurate location

I checked with my dealer sales guy this morning when I went in to order some parts for something else.

VINView showed that was now on Union Pacific and just left Big Four Yard in Indianapolis, IL. Interesting since UP usually doesn't come this far east (Carolinas). There was also something else about a 5/11 date, but not sure if that is an actual ETA at Dixiana, or if its simply the ETA for the next terminal stop on the way.

Mine has been moving every few hours through different cities. I checked today and it’s last note is “Departed Edwardsville KS at 5am. “ hasn’t moved since then. It’s moved a ton over this past weekend.

Mine has been.. entertaining... Went from CSX to St. Louis, NS back to Atherton/Kansas City, then to UP somewhere I missed, and now it's back on CSX.

Load - departed for Louisville KY on CSXT today at 8:39AM
Arrived - Louisville, KY at 4:39 PM

And now CSX Trace is giving me its ETA at Dixiana Terminal/Railyard Monday at 2:00 AM.

Mines been in St Louis since 4:30 am and hasn’t moved. When I call NS it doesn’t register the whole TTGX. Only like TTX or TTG . Not sure if I’m doing it wron or what

NS drops the G in the reply for some reason, but should still track if they scanned it.
I would try both UP and CSX. I had a similar thing where CSX said St. Louis for a day or two, then "Return to rail", which is when NSX picked it up, then NSX said "Scanned at Atherton" and stopped updating. Checked UP, it had something that sounded like " Departed - Port of Industry, CD terminal, no parking information". Thats when I tried CSX again which gives me the current status.

I am not having any success with the CSX help line. It refuses to recognize my 'T'. The automated attendant is hearing 'J'. Any idea how I should pronounce letters? It also doesn't work if I try to type the letters.
Trying to track TTGX982375 headed for Columbia SC. Any help appreciated. Thx
