Yes. Mine is on a train somewhere in Texas. I'm glad the strike has been averted.

I figured you'd be in Kansas where mine is...
I checked this morning.

My Hybrid XLT has been built since 7/8 and I just received an email from Ford yesterday confirming that it has finally shipped with arrival slated for 10/1 to 10/6. I ordered on 9/9/21 so my patience was about exhausted! I hope it is worth the wait....

You are correct. I checked this morning too and it is in Kansas. I would think it would have gone further south to meet up with CSX in Memphis or New Orleans in order to go to Georgia, but what do I know?

I too was surprised and more so this morning to see it in Missouri. That said I've never tracked a railcar before; maybe this is the normal route...

It seems to be the normal route. I just checked and my (and probably your) Maverick has been at the Gateway Yard in East St Louis Illinois. I think this is where it will be transferred to CSX from Union Pacific.

Any route can happen but each carrier will generally move the cars on their rails as far as possible before turning it over to a different railroad. A significant determining factor is which bridge including capacities to sort and build trains, can be used to cross the Mississippi.

Good info, thank you

Rail Union members vote down temporary contract and can strike in, I believe, 30 days
