Have your dealer provide you the railroad car number (something like "TTGXnnnnnn" where each n is a number).

Then go to http://c01.my.uprr.com/pet/motorVehicleTrace.jsp
and enter your railcar number. Now look at the results. You'll see ETA. While it won't show the locatioln, it'll show you when that raiulcar is due at it's destination. Your dealer should be able to tell you how long after the railcar is spotted until you can pick it up (after inspection, prepping, etc.).

I'd suggest you check it a couple of times a week as that ETA will change!

I was able to trace the railcar from OH all the way across the country to Spokane! Even the dealer did not know it was in the railyrad when I called him! It arrived on Mar 1 and I picked it up on Mar 3!

Easy answer: No.

A number of factors are going to affect the time it takes to get your dealer. Only thing you can do is track the railcar, but a lot of times it takes longer to get transported from the railcar to your dealer than it does to get shipped to your area by railcar. There are a lot of factors in the chain that affect delivery time, making it impossible to put an exact time frame on your delivery.

Thanks for the replies. Another note, my dealer said they usually ship them down by truck and it takes less time than rail.
