Default Rail shipment question

My Z06 was loaded on a car yesterday and left Toledo early this morning.

When it reaches the Chicago area, do all the vehicles on that rail car stay on the same rail car and the rail car is shunted to a UP train, or are vehicles reshuffled onto different rail cars again before it heads south on the UP with a PHX destination?

The rail cars will get switched out to different west bound trains but the vetts stay put. Hope you get yours soon. Tom

Once your Corvette is on a rail car, it will stay on that same rail car until it reaches its destination.

Doug, Hopefully the corvette that I ordered is on this train also. I'm from the Phx area and the vette was in Toledo last I knew. TPW of 08-17-15.

Mine is still in Ohio, waiting for a rail car to come to the Bay Area CA. Once mine leaves Ohio, does the rail car only drop off cars in the Bay Area or does it stop along the way, to other cities or states along the route?
Thanks

It will make MANY stops along the way.

Think of it like a pub crawl, rather than a train ride.
