Shipment Interchange Received

[Rod]

Been tracking my truck via the Norfolk Southern phone system. Today, rather than hearing the city it had passed through, I received an update saying this exactly…”shipment interchange received”, Gateway Yard Illinois.
What does this update mean?

For what it's worth, I searched that phrase in railroad terminology, and the only result returned said an "interchange" is when a different railroad uses another railroad's tracks. IE; CSX switching over and using a Norfolk Southern yard.

I guess it depends upon which railway Ford uses to ship vehicles to their destinations, and if another railroad completes the journey. Reminds me of UPS using the Post Office for "last mile deliveries."

My arrived there this morning at 9:27. I haven’t got an email but I know that is the end of Union Pacific tracks and they can repair rail cars if needed. So I’m waiting on the transfer like you. Mine is going to Michigan.

Most likely the railcar is getting connected to a different train.
