That would make sense, but there is also a departure time, usually up to an hour or more later.

I finally started moving. I guess not much, though. It says something about Walker something something something Ontario on 11/12 at 3:35 a.m.

Making some progress here too, got into Fort Erie, Ontario yesterday and overnight came across the border and was received at the Interchange in Buffalo at 3:10 am. Now I have no clue but looking at the CSX rail map (https://www.csx.com/?fuseaction=customers.tdsi_gis) it looks like mine will head east across upstate New York before turning South at the Selkirk facility and then finally in Newark, NJ where it will get dropped and picked up for over-the-road to the dealer. In theory at least.... Updated my touch points on Google maps as well (yes I'm bored)... http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour...e=UTF8&t=h&z=8

I had to call back 3 times to finally understand when they said Port Robinson. LOL

Sounds like my train is behind yours. Should be taking the same route. My car will be going to the dealer in Danbury, Ct though.

I am feeling much better! Just a little lingering cough. Thank goodness since I'm leaving for Vegas in the morning!

just got my rail car also. I'm in Toronto.

So should we start placing bets on who gets theirs first.

Based on location looks like it might be robertway or kjd15.

Probably Robert since his train is already in NY. But I suppose anything can happen.

I'm loaded on a Union Pacific train! It says it should be "at industry" on the 17th. Anybody know how accurate that is?

kjd15 · 11-12-2009, 01:00 PM

What does "at industry" mean, I wonder? The dealership or the transfer area where it gets loaded on a truck?
