Default Rail ramp unload?

My dealer called me today, said he contacted the factory. My car is ready and invoiced, and is at 4800. Doesn't 4800 mean rail ramp unload? I thought the truck them to IL.

Is Shaumburg about 600 miles from Bowling Green? The pattern I have for a long time been seeing (for Chevrolet in general) is that is the radius but I have seen vehicles go by truck to dealers slightly further and by rail slightly less than 600 miles.
