Ours hasn't made it to Toledo yet. Built complete Jul 9 and still in BG.
HOPEFULLY yours gets moving soon. Although our 2015 order sat in Toledo for an EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME (over 60 days) the actual time on the rail car was 6 days from Toledo to Milpitas Rail yard and about 7-10 to unload and get to the dealer.

Interesting. Mine was built 7/6 and after it was shipped to Toledo it waited at Toledo 2 days at the most.. Now its somewhere in Wyoming.. I was probably the last car needed to fill the cart out to the West coast..
I feel bad for you guys down in the SW..

Ask your dealer to notify you when the rail car starts. He can give you a car # and you can track its journey.

So get this, and it may not mean much or be applicable to everyone, but I just got the railcar information from the dealership I ordered through. When going through the instructions of this thread: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ar-number.html

I was told as of today it is in Alcard(sp?) Indiana. Maybe the GPS is not accurate...

After listening to the recording again it may be Elkhart (I looked up all cities in Indiana on wiki and that's the best I can come up with). The recording is very robotic when it says the city name,

The OnStar GPS shows still in Ohio, but the railroad automated service said it went through Gibson Indiana (about 300 miles south of my last check). I'll go off the assumption that the GPS can't make it to the car since it entered the railcar, and that it's slowly but surely making its way to me.

Elkart would be it. I would think the train would go through Chicago from Toledo. Elkart is on the way. There is a Norfolk Southern rail yard in Elkart. https://www.google.com/maps/place/No...9b02544e3e8242
