I know some of you will hate me, but now what do I do?

Read the sticky at the top of the forum which explains how to get the info:

TLDR: Chat ford or call your dealer after it ships to get the rail car number, then you can call the railroad robot and it will tell you were it is.

Not to worry guys, I found my new obsession: calling the union pacific robot to check where the train is

You still have one more tracking after it arrives at the railyard. Tracking from the railyard to your dealer - https://www.broncosportforum.com/forum/threads/tracking-your-order-once-off-the-railcar.4823/

Sweet. It won't last long that way, the dealer is only about 25 miles.

Looks like it's possible for me. The status today is "placed at industry" which from posts here means it's at the destination and waiting to be unloaded. So shipped 4/20, left 4/22, changed to this status 4/26. Called the dealer and they have not been notified yet.

So now placed at industry is dated 5/4. Sat in Colton for 4 days and now it finally moved today, about 2 hours and it’s arrived again. My guess is LA, which Is about an hour by car.

"Loaded, Arrived at industry 5/1"

VIN just popped into the transport company site...It's getting real.

My complete timeline is in my sig, but just to sum up:

6+ month wait for order banks to open (i'm counting them as I sold my 2nd car at this time and living with 1 car for a family of 4 is tough)
4 month wait for scheduling
2 month wait for production
1 week wait to complete & Ship

At each step I fell into certain rituals. I would watch @fordvideoguy 's update weekly for constraints and hope I wasn't one of them. I looked for hope.

Then I was scheduled! It was a great feeling as I had just had surgery and was feeling crummy. I really needed a win, and it happened for me.

The next 2 months were really tough. I still checked almost daily for some hope that I would go early, but I hit the exact week that I was scheduled for (stupid holiday week off).

Earlier this week I finally hit "built", and today I went to "shipped". I got my rail car number and I know when the train lands in my station. With any luck, i might get it two weeks from today.

Now I've run out of things to check. There's nothing to do except wait for the dealer to call for delivery. I've got my drop in bedliner in the garage.

I know a lot of you are still waiting, but I feel that my 14 months are sufficient suffering to earn my stripes.

I hope everyone gets their win too. I'll update this thread with Pics. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here.

No one could begrudge you at 14 months.
It's the 6 month people that annoy me.

My 16 month wait is finally fading from memory after 3 months of ownership. I now just love my truck.
