I went so far as to follow the train tracks on my iPad map from Toledo to Calif., that's about 2,200 miles. The tracks split so many times, it's almost impossible. It appeared the tracks went parallel to highway 80 most of the way. You can see the big rail yards where the train stops to pick up or drop off rail cars and maybe switch tracks. Because of national security, you can no longer get freight train schedules including where CSX hands over the rail cars to Union Pacific to continue the journey.

My Tpw was 7/28. When I logged in to the production tracker Tuesday morning 7/29 it showed in- route. I almost pee'd my pants. My car gets trucked to Winter Chevrolet in Pittsburg Ca. after it gets off the train. I was so jealous of u guys that had earlier Tpws

Sounds like you got the perfect build date in order to avoid all this rail nonsense! Awesome!

I was first told by GM, estimated day was the 7th, then when I called a week later, they said the 8th. It sure would be nice if the trains were running ahead of schedule.

At the least, I should be sitting in the rail yard waiting for the train to arrive today. Last night at the club meeting, a bunch of people asked me if the car is here yet. I told them, today. One of the guys said when his was off loaded a couple of months ago, it was early in the morning and within a couple of hours it was at the dealer in Sacramento.

Did your dealer tell you the train would arrive tomorrow? GM told me on two different occasions that it would be today. I'm sure your car and mine will be on the same train. I'll do like you and wait for the call.

No, my salesmen have been extremely lacking. Little to no information on my car. Little to no contact with me until they wanted my money. After they had it, little to no contact once again. I've been getting 99% of my updates from GM. They're the ones that told me it was going to arrive tomorrow. I doubt we're on the same train though, mine is coming to Mira Loma.

Oops, that would make sense, but. I found a not a schedule but where the train stops in each city. I believe after Milpitas here in Nor Cal, that same train continues to a couple of other cities including Mira Loma. So you may be on then same train and that's why yours will be tomorrow and mine today. But I could be 1,000% wrong.
