He told me that he didn't want to call me unless he had accurate info. I hope he is right

When you call in to get the info on our railcar, do you hear a city at all? I can only hear that its going to Mira Loma. Do I have to record it and play it backwards or something

Heyya Sullivang! I traced tonight @12:36am and we depart Illinois @5:30am this morning and we arrive in Mira Loma California @8:50am on 11/7....I guess we got hooked up to an engine and are finally released to start the trek west!!

Glad to hear you guys are moving again - and that your delivery date has moved up. I've already pulled ahead of you and am almost out of Iowa as of 1:00AM today. How weird...

This whole process is bizarre---It seems like there is someone on the other end of tracing playing a dirty mind trick on us all by randomly changing the ETAs and departure times
Just cruel!!

ETTX702275 inbound! In Lowes Kentucky, if I am correct, she will be passing through the town I work in and 'should' be here in Memphis by end of the day!

If that is the case, I am thinking she may be at the dealership tomorrow or Thursday at the latest.

Man, that would suck if she waited at the railyards for a few days just to get on a truck to go 10 - 15 miles at the most!

What I was doing was calling Union Pacific @ 18002554915. I thought that after Gibson Indiana that it changed and the old number was no good. When you call the UP number, it tells you Mira Loma destination but not the stops

I will go back to the old number, thanks for the help.

Man, I am actually starting to get nervous like I have a big date or something. Im thinking all kind of wierd crap like I am going to stall the car when I leave the dealer? What should I wear?? My daughter has lost all respect for me!

is everyone else like this

Haha - no I am right there with you - the excitement is definitely building - I just wish my Camaro5 apparel would show up before the car does - but somehow I doubt it will. I have another Camaro shirt to fall back on. I'm torn because I'm going to be driving the car out dirty and undetailed - my brother-in-law and I are going to do it ourselves. I sure hope I don't stall it too! It's a new clutch I won't be used to!

No problem, just look for sevn86 and my updates. We are keeping up with it pretty often. We are all on the same train so wherever we are you're there too.

when you call the up number how do you enter the info when you get the automated system? i have tried but cant find out how to enter the car initials. I use the key pad and type in (3889 for ettx) or can you speak it? Please let me know b/c i want to compare the up # & the other # i am using now

Good to hear from another 5th Gen from the Northwest, looks like you are about one week behind me. This morning mine was in Proviso, Illinois getting ready to head out at 9:47a. The train is schedule to arrive Nov 8th, so I should be getting my Camaro next week.

Found this picture on a news site, be careful with those Camaros!

Funny-I think we all are on pins and needles--I feel just like when I was a kid waiting for Christmas and after asking over and over when is it coming my mother used to say: "It's just around the corner!" So, you guessed it my brother and me used to run around the corner to see if we could get to it sooner--- very cheesy kids stuff as I recall!

SikMaro you can enter your number then hit#, then the system will give you a list of prefixes--you just select the prefix that matches (TTX or SN etc...)

SikMaro just traced yours ETTX 702474 it said departed Armourdale, Kansas and ETA to Phoenizx AZ is 11/5@1:07am.
