but I thought the picture was worth sharing..

Thanks!

Link for Rail Shipped VIN's Spreadsheet

I'd really like to know if my car is on a train. My dealer says it is and I have to drive to Tampa to pcik it up this Friday. However, from looking at the railcar spreadsheet it doesn't appear to have been shipped (105463).

Does the spreadsheet include all rail companies? There doesn't seem to be any southern locations, FL, GA, etc.

***PLEASE READ****

I just sent the update over to UCF; it’s now at 1153 VIN’s. Because so many VIN’s have now been shipped the data is starting to get confusing. I am now finding some railcars that have already arrived at destination, had the Camaros unloaded and then the railcar has been reloaded with more cars going somewhere else. The railcar will still show up next to your VIN, but now show as a loaded car not going to your area. If you see your VIN next to a railcar that is not going to your area, your car has been unloaded already at the autoramp nearest you. I assure you there is no problem with your shipment and the railroad has not messed up and sent your car to the wrong place. I doubled checked these cases by the full VIN just to make sure this was the case. Odds are, if this is the case you should have your Camaro soon, so you should be out driving and not still looking at the database…

For what its worth, not many new cars shipped yet since its still early in the week, but I did pick up several VIN’s in the high 2000’s.

Thanks,

Patience.. remember these guys that are doing this are enthusiasts also....

keep watching the spreadsheet......

kk2010ss < you rock!!! (even though thru the tracking page that HuJass gave me my train is stuck in Toronto

I am still a very happy Girl!!!)

may I make a suggestion though.. on the top of the spreadsheet you could put the update time and or date on it.. that way we know what day it is from?

just trying to help in my little minisquial (sp?) way

trm0002 · 04-28-2009, 06:27 PM

So, would anyone like to enlighten me as to why only one (#5) of the first 1000 VINs shows up? I know better than to think they aren't moving by train as completed...

2010 SS RS · 04-28-2009, 06:34 PM

You guys are doing a fantastic service to all of Camaro lovers. I hope the railroads dont get tired of us like GM did. lol Once again thanks and I cant wait till my Vin shows up and is moving on the great railroads of North America. Whoooo Hoooooo! I hear that wistle blowin'.
