CSX Train Derails in Kentucky With Ford Mavericks Among Cargo 😟

[JesTr]

Just got word of a CSX train derailment in Glendale, KY. Friend told me he spotted Mavericks among the cargo. Some folks may want to check on their shipping schedule.

Yep. 20+ cars off tracks. All autoracks. If you want to know if your truck was on it, send me your rail car number and I will check.

The train left Louisville KY today at 10:57. At least some of the cars were scheduled to make Orlando 3/19.

Imagine waiting 1.5 years for your Maverick.
You get a build date.
It gets built.
It gets shipped.
It's days away from being in your hands.

Then this.

And now you're waiting until 2024 order banks open to do it all over again.

All because some semi driver forgot to take 60 seconds to raise his landing gear.

Edit, not 100% sure about landing gear being the culprit. Looking at this image, it could also be that his brake air hose got caught and pulled off. Or he ignored no trucks allowed sign. Or sign could have been stolen by teenagers. We will just have to wait and see.

Either way, dummy got stuck on the tracks, causing the engineer to dynamite the brakes and, well, that didn't work out so well.

That sucks. That's what happened to my dad in '21 with his 2022 F250 order. He had been waiting for months and then it got trashed in a shipping yard a week before it was due to arrive. Probably worse for the Maverick buyers though as he went from expecting it in August to Ford getting him another one built and delivered in November.

Wow, mine just went through there a week or so ago, I took delivery already.

Feel form the ones that were on there, after 1.5 years I would be very upset about that.

Whoever opposed this conclusion in a not too long ago planning commission report is having a real "told ya so" kind of day.

Latest report says there were 21 Autorack rail cars involved in the KY derailment. Hope none of your Mav's are on there!!

 

[Old Man]

There were definitely Buicks, Chevys and at leat one red Maverick.

There is the red maverick and the rail car number clearly visible.

And I bet they still get their replacements before mine gets scheduled....

Semi got high centered....should have carried more speed through the obstacle

Maybe a few spare parts for some of the recalls. You have to think positive.
