NJPN1P - 3000 - 7/24/09 TPW 8/17
3800 - 8/20/09 VIN# 38189

The automated system says my baby's in Toronto as of 11:35 this morning, and she's got a long way to go! (All the way to Phoenix, AZ) I am sure it took a couple of extra days to get shipped because I ordered the CG rally stripes, but now she's on a rail car coming home!

The dealer has given me an ETA of 9/4, but I am hoping she shows up early...

I tried checking to see if my car had maybe moved on to the U P train system & the automated system won't take my number.. it's asking for how many pieces of "equipement" & what the "equipement number is & states that it must have initials & #'s ... as in U P xxxxx" .

I don't have a U P # I have an ETTX #. Do the rail car numbers change when the rail company changes?

The CSX number I keep calling also says something I don't understand... it says it arrived last night on "CN". Does anyone know what THAT means? I thought maybe it meant Canandian National... so I found a number for them & the prompts there don't go anywhere with my number. ???????????????????

Oh my gosh......... I thought this would be the easy part......... its HARD!!

Thanks for any answers y'all might have.

Can you give me your Rail car number, I will see what I can find out..If you are still in Toronto, I can almost bet you are not on a Union Pacific carrier yet..
Your rail car number will be the same through out.. they dont pull the cars out until they get to the destination.. from what I understand.

Thank you!

wrgdave0914 · 08-26-2009, 05:13 PM

Mine has moved from CSX to Union Pacific and it is still the same car number.

Phoenix328 · 08-26-2009, 05:25 PM

for us chicagoans will we be csx the whole way?

Phoenix328 · 08-26-2009, 05:26 PM

looks like for all of us in toronto maybe they are going to hook us all together.

adamvol · 08-26-2009, 06:07 PM

Why do they just say "empty" when I input the U P number over the phone? I'm so confused. My info says shipped and gives me a Rail number.

i laughed and told him where have you been? I knew that since 800 this morning. I could here his face fall over the phone that he was not the first to deliver this information. These dealers are just clueless. Maybe they dont believe in the power of the internet.

My dealer told me to let him know when the car gets to his lot. Everytime he calls to update me I already know!!

eckoseal · 08-26-2009, 06:14 PM

Got a rail number ETTX801462 -- in transit

Getting closer!!

Called the number and it keeps putting me through to a person, but I hng up quick, cant get automated system somehow!

Orange ss crush · 08-26-2009, 06:26 PM

I stand corrected mine is STILL in Ontario it is now not in London Ontario but it is now at Walkerville JCT - six days and still in Canada. Are they pushing the beast home? I could see two people pumping up and down on a rail pusher as it tows my car down the tracks!!!!

My dealer in Sanford NC said mine would be in before the 8th. it is sitting in Toronto right now.

ThunderSS,
My car shipperd the 25 (ETTX908526) so I think my 3800 event would of been the 24th now. Viz was busy so that may be why I thought it was the 25 for production.

It's all good because it is enroute!!

Orange ss crush · 08-26-2009, 06:40 PM

Try this
Call 1-800-235-2352
when asked for the car's initials hit your keys on the phone just like this 32, 81, 81, 92 then #. It will then ask for the car number, put in 801462 then #.

Keep in mind
DO NOT SPEAK WITH A LIVE PERSON WITH ANY RAIL CAR COMPANY. Simply hang up if it sends you to customer service..

Here they are again.

If you get a rail car number you can check here..
Start with CSX, thats who gets it first..
DO NOT TALK TO A HUMAN BEING!!!!!
ONLY USE THE AUTOMATED SYSTEM!!!!

I can not stress that enough, if you talk to a human looking for your car, GM will suspend rail car updates, and EVERYONE will loose the ability to track over the rails..
I pity the fool that ruins it for everyone else, and they find out who it was.
