I think I'll leave the dealer with the top up just to make sure there isn't a lot of wind noise (that I've read about) coming from the rear. When I get home I'll flood the roof with water to make sure it doesn't leak and then keep a real close watch for wear marks. I'm hoping that by now Chevrolet has worked out all the problems...but I have read reports from guys with 2012 models saying they are having problems. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope that what we've read is coming from a very small minority.

This morning
11/30/2011 (4B00) Your car is bayed and is waiting for transportation by truck, rail or transfer to vendor.

Mine too. I was kind of hoping it'd go to QC, but I'll be happy to get her as soon as she arrives. I'll do my own QC

Me 3 - undecided whether I want it quicker, or want it through QC. Quicker would mean I could get a little of my life back instead of following gmconnects all the time. Mind you that will probably be replaced by time spend ordering and tracking mods... I hope that bug doesn't bite too hard!

All three should be on the same train, I guess. Anybody know how to find out when they are loaded and the railcar number? Hopefully that train leaves Friday. For the last batch with TPW 11/14, I believe their train left on friday, 18 Nov.

On page 3 of this thread, post #57, I posted the directions for tracking the rail car.

If you think watching gmconnects was aggrivating, wait until you can track the train.....it can change 7-10 towns in a day and is updated every few hours.

I would only check gmconnects twice a day....the RR....twice an hour if I could!

Once you know your car is loaded on the train, call your dealer and he/she can get you the rail car # and then you can track the rail car to it's destination.

I hate to say it, but be patient, gmconnects runs a day or so behind. I took delivery on Tuesday and gmconnects didn't even show it arrived at my dealer until Thursday.

Thanks Tyson!!! Great Information.

Here is the Rail Tracking info,

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.
