Morning Becky.. thanks for the update. Funny, I emailed the General manager at the dealership this morning and he stated that PFWHW6 is broadcast for parts. The Camaro tracking says the same with no VIN. You got special powers ?!?!

Here is some info for automated railcar tracking if you have the railcar #

CSX is everything east of the mississippi
Up is everything west of the mississippi

But they all start out on CSX so once they have it in there system they will follow it all the way.

How do I track my car on a railcar?

First and most important. Never talk to live personnel at the railroad! Only use automated phone system. If it attempts to transfer you to a live person please hang up. The railcar information we are provided by GM is given as a courtesy and if we call live personnel we will lose our data and ability to track
CSX
1. Call the CSX 1-800-235-2352 1-800-235-2352
2. When prompted for location or weight, press "1" on your phone for location.
3. When prompted for the car initials, say ETTX (whatever initials you have) then wait for the next prompt. OR key in 32-81-81-92 (for ETTX)(letter and position on your phone)
4. When prompted for the car number, say 907048 or key in whatever your car number is
5. When prompted for next car say DONE.
6. That's it; enjoy your updated status report.

Union Pacific
1. Call UP at 1 800 877-5123 1 800 877-5123
2. Follow phone prompts for Trace
3. Say the railcar number complete and clearly. Example ETTX123456 all together
4. Listen for your update

These automated systems can be frustrating. Keep in mind they are intended for use by folks that use them daily all day long. Like I said if you are being transferred to a live person please hang up and try again.

Have your dealer call the GM Dealer Business Center and get it for you.

Mine left Toronto a couple of hours ago. Go train Go.....
My car was built last Thursday and it is just going out today. Get a move on GM. It probably had to set out in the cold for six days. Poor baby.

HA HA HA

That's funny. Hopefully we see some VINs tomorrow. We are just about out of patience! Lmao

When I looked at the last post regarding your car, I think either I misunderstood your question or you may have misunderstood my answer. The question was about going past 3400 status and my reply said I can't go past 3800. And then some info about getting your event codes and such. You may have thought that you were at 3800, but it's still 3400 and no VIN. I appologize for any confusion. I don't want to dampen anyones enthusiasm, and again appologize. Hope that clears it up for you.

Just spoke to my Dealer. He said the train is supposed to drop my car off in Shreveport tonight. 24 hours to unload the train then up to another 3 days to deliver the car to the dealer. So, I'm guessing Monday or Tuesday of next week, my car will arrive at the dealer! Yay!
