Glad to hear you are getting your truck today. I picked mine up last night after work. Nice color choice too ?

Cyberdman, thank you for your updates. This thread can be closed as my truck was delivered to the dealership today.

Hopefully yours will arrive sooner. Mine was pushed out to 9/9 at the latest and arrived today. So it's possible for yours to arrive sooner than the ETA is currently showing.

I just got back from the dealer, they said they will have it ready for pickup by 3:00pm. You will have to post a picture of your truck when you get it.

Haha, I didn't but they could have stopped in the South towns this morning before heading up this way.

Drove by the dealership on my way to the office this morning and look what showed up!!

Yeah, considering they were unloaded last Tuesday. I just drove back from St. Louis on Monday. Coming up the 90 from Cleveland, there have been plenty of auto carriers heading toward Buffalo with Ford Edge, F-150's and some Explorers. Didn't see any Super Duty's on any of them. I did see some GM and Ram trucks heading this way as well. Just can't believe it is taking this long since being unloaded from the railcar.

Has anyone had their original delivery ETA extended? Mine was originally 8/26 - 9/1 and checked this morning and the ETA is now showing 9/3 - 9/9. It was unloaded from the railcar on 8/24.

Thanks Cyberdman

Bump, wondering if there is anything new regarding: VIN #: 1FT8W3B********** Thanks, -Mike

I’m in Kirkwood, MO and a load of auto racks just went through heading west toward Kansas City on UP with multiple rail cars of Super Duty’s.

Moved to a different railcar would require loading and unloading at a facility. Considering all those are reporting the same thing, then my guess is the rail car had a problem enroute and had to be set out on a siding for repair. This happens from time to time as the railroads have defect detectors along the mainlines to try and detect issues with trains before they create larger issues, such as a derailment. If the car tripped a defect detector, the train crew has to stop the train and visually inspect the railcar. If something is discovered to be wrong that the train crew can not resolve, then the car is setout at the nearest siding for repair and the train continues. Once a maintenance crew repairs the issue with railcar, dispatch will usually schedule it to be picked up by either a local or another through freight train. Considering that it's been a week with no movement on the railcar, this would be my best guess as to what happened.

Interesting, it doesn't appear there are any yards in that area. Are you using the CSX tracking phone number to get this info or was this provided by your dealer? If it's from CSX, if I had to guess the railcar may have had a problem and possibly setout as a bad order to be repaired. Once it's repaired it will be scheduled for pickup by another train and continue on it's way. If the information is from your dealer, then they might not have the current location of the rail car. But looking at Google Sat view, I don't see any other reason for it to be sitting in Kirkwood, OH since the 15th.

Where is yours sitting? The railcar mine was on arrived at Lordstown of Ohio, LLC today (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Lordstown+of+Ohio+LLC/@41.1751239,-80.8761944,1176m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1). It was shipped on the 18th and looks like it will be unloaded and continue via over the road transport to my dealership in Buffalo, NY.

Thanks for all the input. I will call my salesman and express my concerns and see what he says.
