Still in wormhole. Ford doesn't have anything beyond the Nov. 22 status at Blue Island.
Edit: Our friends in the 10/24 build week are getting the same status reports from Ford, but are tracking their railcars in Oregon. So, it's possible our trucks are moving and the unpaid interns at Ford have a backlog of status reports to update.

So basically just hoping it pops up soon and somewhere close

If your railcar is on BNSF lines, then you're in the same boat as all of us... no official updates until it's picked up by the convoy.

Based on this map it seems like any trains headed to SoCal will head along the southern route through New Mexico and Arizona. There are lots of Virtual Railfan cameras along the way that you might be able to catch a glimpse if you're curious.

Chances are it's on a "priority" vehicle shipping train that will just be all autoracks, like this.

Yeah, I just spoke with Ford CS and they said it was at the Blue Island location but the railcar info they sent early on says it is in Bakersfield, CA. I wonder where it actually is?

Well, finally a new update. Still in Gibson, IN but I was given a railcar number...now I need to figure out how to track Canadian National Railways.

Hmmmm. I am/was on CNR too (have not found a way to track). If Oregon and Nor. Cal. run similar routes, a bunch of us got knotted up in Gibson. My railcar is #TTGX853634.

I did some quick searching, I finally called the UP number. The information they had regarding the railcar # I have was from June. Not very helpful.
