The spreadsheet is no longer being updated.

However, you should be able to obtain your railcar from your dealer and be able to track it using the info in this thread... http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28090

OK, my dealer is being a real pain the butt about this. He claims that they are not giving out railcar numbers anymore? Says he called the DBC on Thursday and they told him their system was swamped and he couldn't get any info.

He also told me that up until 5 months ago GM was using a trucking company that would bring in like 10 cars at a time. Supposedly, the trucking company was facing bankruptcy and told the drivers that would have to take 15% pay cut. Since the trucking company was union that told them to shove it and the company closed the doors. Now GM is relying solely on independent truckers and they usually only bring in about 3 cars at a time which is holding up the line so to speak.

I don't think so. Unless I'm looking at the wrong thing, when I click on the link that downloads the Excel spreadsheet, the IDs (VINs) don't eve go above 10,000...

I no longer need requests for specific VIN #'s because I am manually checking every possible VIN number (from #1 to the highest one I can find shipped) every day. I can assure you (and so can my fingers), I check every VIN, every day.

Some of you have asked what the different rail codes mean so here is a rough list:

Departure - Railcar has departed the city listed enroute to next big city along the way.
Arrive In Transit - railcar has arrived city listed
Junction Recieved - railcar has arrived at a junction to be handed off to the next railroad to haul it
Hold or Delayed - self explanatory, could be many reasons. This is usually less than 24 hours
Release from Customer -railcar was released from customer (could be GM or the receiver at the other end)
Placed Actual - railcar is actually placed at the location it will be unloaded
Bad order - railcar has a mechanical problem and needs repaired (usually less than 48 hour delay)
Bad Order Release - railcar has been repaired and is ready to move again
Arrive Destination - railcar has arrived at its current destination
Pulled from customer - railcar was pulled from the customer's location (GM or receiver)
Placed Construct - railcar has arrived its final desination but there is not room to unload it yet (will move to placed actual when the room is available)
Storage - railcar has been emptied and is now being moved to storage


I am trying to work on a way to track the railcar shipments by VIN number. I work in the rail industry and have access to some tracing applications that may work. I am not sure it’s possible but I need some information to test it out. Does anyone have VIN numbers that they know for sure are in transit by railcar? You can PM me or post them here.

Thanks!
