I have been trying to track my truck using the rail tracker. My rail car is TTGX 700717 on Union Pacific. as of tonight the message says it was loaded and released from hold on 5/21, and scheduled to arrive at industry on 5/23. Then some unintelligible word that sounded like dindister. Can anyone explain what all that means? at one point a couple days ago the automated update referred to it being in Gateway yard which I think is in east St louis. And my sticker refers to ramp RAK6, which I think is someplace in Chicago or the suburbs based on a google of the reference. Thanks in advance for any insight.

It almost sounds like he said "delivered industry" at Wall ridge Ohio. Does that location make sense to you?

Industry is a UP RAILYARD in California where UP builds unit trains. Ramp RAK6 could be reference to a siding where rail cars are parked to be picked up by a different railroad. I'll see if I can find it. Dinister could be reference to departed industry.

"Deliver to Industry" is a term for delivery to where the railcar will be offloaded not any actual specific location.

When I first followed my Maverick on the train I thought that since I was in Texas that "delivery to industry" meant "City of Industry" in Texas that was near Houston. I was informed that that was wrong. The final train destination was the "Dallas Rail Yard" in Mesquite TX.

I received my Maverick on April 26th, and mine was RAK6. That was in Chicago. It took close to 2 weeks to leave from there on convoy to the dealership.
You can view the rail yard on google maps and see location.

So is "Industry" meaning final rail destination and than offloaded for truck transport ? Thx -

Does anyone know where ramp RM6P is? I think it may be near KC.
