As a part of my selling Corvettes all over
the country, I also provide the information
as to how you can track your vehicle as it
makes its' way across the country to you.
Why others are unwilling to do this is beyond
my understanding, if you are paying upwards
of $50K, you deserve "complete service".
First: Vehicles shipped to the Southwest,
West, and Northwest will be shipped by train.
They leave BG via truck to Springhill, TN.,
for loading on a train.
Pulling out of Springhill, TN. are two
major RR, CSTX and BNSF, the other railine
which serves the NW is UPRR. In every case.
the rail portion of the trip will terminate
at a GM distribution center, serving a wide
area, where the vehicle will again be placed
on truck for trip to dealer.
To track your car: You must have the last
8 of the vehicle identification number AND
the number of the railcar on which your
car was loaded in Springhill; your dealer
can get these for you -- INSIST THAT THEY
GET THE RAILCAR NUMBER, without it you are
most likely out of luck on tracking your car.
1. Vehicles to the Southwest (Texas, AZ,
NM, S.CA)
www.csxt.com/index.cfm
Go to Public Tracking and enter the railcar
number.
2. Vehicles to the West and Northwest.
check the link above, if you do now find the
railcar on CSXT, try the following for BNSF
www.bnsf.com/cws/tracing/index.html
On this site you can trace by the last 8 of
the VIN.
If your vehicle is going to the NW (utah,
WA, OR, N.CA, etc), you will "loose" your
vehicle on the CSXT or BNSF tracing after
it reaches E. St.Louis. At this point the
vehicle will be handed off to Union Pacific
RR. UPRR will only trace by RAILCAR NUMBER,
this is the same railcar that was assigned in
Springhill.
