Method of railing transport.

Ok so i got the information on what rail company is transporting my vehicle. It is UP Union Pacific. I called the automated system and it is currently in Illinois. I am in Dallas tx. It is going to arrive in Arlington tx. What do you think the time table is for it to arrive in Arlington and being loaded onto a truck and driven to Dallas. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.

So the shipping company Jack Cooper Shipping has been running a skeleton crew. The trucks only run when they have a full load to the dealership. I found out today that it is possible for a dealer to take delivery from the rail yard, although I don't know what that entails. I will be working on that first thing tomorrow morning. I did see my car thru a 6 foot chain link fence. She is beautiful. Hopefully I will take possession tomorrow and will let you know more information about dealer delivery from the rail yard. The lot seems to be less than 1/3 full. I did see a silver and yellow camaro besides mine.

What dealership did you order from?

It was from reliable chevy in richardson.

Yeah if you dont mind. i took the week off thinking it would arrive this week. If it is in illinois. how long do you think it would take to arrive in arlington.

I will track it tomorrow. It was coming with unioin pacific. What dealership was your from. Hopefully they wont hold mine that long. If i see that it is in arlington tomorrow. I will call them and notify how long it is going to take for them to load it and deliver. Yeah let me know tomorrow how it goes. I might have to do the same thing that you are doing.

When I found out my railcar # last Saturday, the automated service told me specifically the the date and time on my SIG. Now I'm hoping that it doesn't go thru, what NativeTexan is going thru.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 08:46 PM.
