Here is something interesting don't know if it's true or not? The last 2019 I got delivered as I was taking off the shipping cover the truck driver and I was talking I asked if he hauled any test loads of the 2020s?. He told me that GM is thinking of going back to trucking all 2020 Corvettes? He said they have too many damage claims by rail? He also said the west dealers bitch because of how long it takes to get the cars? I guess we will see if the 20s all get shipped by trucks?

Rail is more about being in the western USA. My understanding is from west Texas and parts West, it is rail. Houston is by truck. My 2019 got here in a day and a half from BG once loaded. Rail can be two weeks or more. The cars are trucked from Bowling Green north to a railyard, sent by rail and then by truck to your dealer.

A 1000 (give or take) mile radius from Bowling Green is essentially west Texas and beyond. Possibly far north eastern US (Maine). They go by truck to Toledo where they are loaded on a rail car. From there they may sit in other rail yards waiting for a train heading the right place. Some west coast deliveries took 6 weeks.

I'm interested in this topic. My dealer is close to the border at Niagara Falls. Distance from Bowling Green is less than 700 miles.
My sales guy thought that up to now cars were trained to Windsor, then by truck to St Catharines. All truck would obviously be better, and quicker.
