Here is a link listing of all of the railroad automotive facilities nationwide with addresses and phone numbers for the contractors responsible for unloading the new vehicles from the rail cars and arranging transport to the dealerships.

I found this online yesterday and was about to call with my VIN when I got a call from my dealership that it had just been delivered without notice.

Might be worth a call to find out why there’s a delay and when your truck is scheduled to leave the rail yard. Hopefully you’re able to talk to someone who can look up your VIN and give your better info than the dealership is giving you.

Thank you. My rail yard (Norfork Southern / Ayer MA) has no number listed; I'll hunt later if it gets that bad. The trucking company has only picked up 9 F150's all month to my dealership. According to the trucking records (United Roads) all vehicles were picked up within 2 days of availability so... my truck is in Rail Road Limbo for at least two weeks and counting... maybe not unloaded.

Anyone know what a PCO status is with respect to railcar status on Norfolk southern? Its pco at port Wilmington which would be its final point until convoy to dealer.

After a few texts and calls, I was able to get in touch with Matt. He sent me a link to their credit app. Apparently Tom and Steven are out of office.
And now confirmed for Friday morning pick up. Approved for 0% for 60mos + $1,500 in rebates. Feel much better now. ??

ETA pushed to Dec 3rd. Original ETA was 11/26 and pushed to 11/29. Pushed again to 12/3. Been at the railyard since 11/13.
Now tracker is back to Nov 29th. What gives? This is making my head hurt :(

I wouldn't trust or stress over the tracker. Dealer is only legit source. (Sorry if you already said your dealer is not cooperative).

The dealer stated they are not getting any information from the railyard and are not getting delivery updates from trucking companies since COVID. They work off the ETA and wait for the delivery. Tomorrow will be the 10th week since ordered and that is the average timeline the dealer provided when I ordered. The timeline didn't bother me, but since I joined this site and started to track the truck, the possibility of the truck getting here sooner really got me excited. We are so use to instance information and good delivery service that in reality the truck will be delivered soon enough and this will all be in the past.

Fords actual visibility report says my trucks railcar has been in Ohio since the 21st. However, if I call Norfolk Southern’s tracker and search that railcar- it says its “actual location” is port of Wilmington. ?‍♂

For anyone wondering I was able to secure the 0% for 72 months. Financing was able to put in my order date for the truck and keep that financing rather than the current option. In case anyone is still waiting for their truck and figuring out financing.

That's great!
I wasn't so lucky with my dealership in Sumner, but at least I got the 0% for 60 months + $500.

That's ridiculous! Have you tried bypassing your dealership and contacting Ford directly? They might be interested to know that they have trucks sitting in rail yards for three weeks waiting for transport to dealerships.
Start a conversation with @Ford Motor Company
Call Ford Marketing at 1-800-334-4375
Or search for a thread from this summer discussing someone who contacted the Ford execs in the Executive Office. They got very quick results if I remember correctly.
