Default Rail car - order tracking help

Hey guys,

Trying to understand what this update actually means, any help would be appreciated!
Tracking my order via CSX.

- On Saturday June 13th, it said it arrived at Mira Loma


The latest update is:
CAR ETTX (number) empty, departed - thermal CA, on June 15, 6pm and has no ETA

Thermal CA is approx 2 hours from the dealer.

Is this still on the train or on a truck?
What next steps have you experienced after Mira Loma?


Thanks!

Mira Loma is a transfer point where it will go the final leg by truck.

So when the update says empty - am I basically tracking an empty rail car ?
Because, that shiz is going in the wrong direction

Now the update says:
Iris Ca, 7:28pm

That's nearly an hour further away from the dealer than the prior location.

Didja ever think that if your car was on that railcar and that railcar is now empty, your car is no longer on it?

Yes, you are now tracking an empty rail car.

Yea, that's logical - but wasn't entirely sure that the tracking system ended there or transitioned to the truck transport stops.

I know there has been several folks on here saying that their car was stuck in Mira Loma for 'x' amount of days without moving.. . How did they know that - 'on star' or other tracking method?

Any way to track progress post Mira Loma (outside of on star) ?

Nope. You're just gonna have to be patient at this point. It'll be through PDI soon enough

(don't feel bad. It took over 5 weeks for my C7 to make it from BG to my dealer near Spokane, WA)

Ok, so.. From the sounds of it - the only option is to activate on star if I want to have visibility from here on out.. .
