These are all assumptions on my part - but it is giving me something to do while I call CSX every 2 hours!

No assumption - the VIN is actually assigned to the engine before it starts getting built at the St. Catherines plant. We took a tour of the Martinrea plant where they make the front and rear suspension modules and actually saw car VIN numbers on every unit before they were shipped out to the Oshawa plant. Talk about cool just-in-time inventory!
