Anyway to track vehicule once on the CN ?

Hi,
So my car has just been discharged from the Vessel in Halifax.
Is there anyway whatsoever to track it? Basically find out if it's been loaded on the train or if it's sitting at the port in Halifax...
Thankx

Ohhh dude I was just about to ask the same exact question. Just got off the phone with my dealer and he said it's arrived in Halifax.

Anyone know the answer to this question or at the least might give us an idea of how long they waited after the car arrived to Halifax to get it into their dealership.

Thanks.

A coupla weeks max. Still some variables however:

-what needs to be done in VPC in Halifax
-loading onto proper train
-train trip to Concord
-offload in Concord and time in yard
-find a truck load going to Hamilton

I'm guessing you'll be in a new car the week of 2/15. Better off to think of it that way. If earlier it'll be a nice surprise.

I believe Holeinoneboy might have some answers for you youyou (that sounded strange).

Apparently he found out how long it took from Halifax to Edmonton.

By the way, you must be getting excited!

Thankx guys for the replies...
Ya i'm getting extremely excited. But i'm getting nervous also because the last thing i want now is for my car to sit in Halifax for a long time.
I spoke to my salesman today and and he told me the car is still in Halifax.
The car was discharged on Saturday the 27th. So it's been 3 days now and no movement.
But at this point there's absolutely nothing to do. And if you want to register with CN to be able to track anything you have to fill up alot of info and then CN has to review your application and it takes about 2 business days for them to either approve or reject your Registration application...

hhaa youyou that's funny how CN works.

My dealer just faxed me some papers I'll have to take a look at them but I think you and I are in the same exact spot.

I think once our cars come in we should get together half way between T Dot and Montreal

Hey Ado,
So what kind of papers did your dealer fax you? Anything interesting that might help us figure this thing out?
Spoke to my salesman today and he says nothing has changed...
Thing is their system is usually lagging by a few days so maybe just maybe our cars are already on their way...
The final stretch is really killing me here. I'm goin nuts!!!
I would definitely hit the streets halfway to T dot and let -er rip on the highway. Would be a great way to break her in

I was debating between Space Gray and Alpine White and decided to go with Alpine White and for the interior i chose Coral Red...

Welcome Shiggy...
This is a great forum for all questions you might have regarding your new Bmw
So you say your car landed in Halifax on the 5th and arrived on the 19th.
That's actually pretty good, only 14 days from Halifax to Vancouver.
Well it's giving me some hope that mine might actually make it to Montreal this week.

Just spoke to my Salesman today and it seems that my car hasn't budged.
This is driving me completely insane!! It's been sitting there since Saturday.
What the hell is so hard about putting the damn car on a train.

Hang in there youyou!!
