Canadian rail tracking via CN

Does anyone have the CN account that can be used to track shipments via rail? I wouldn't mind knowing if my car has left Halifax port yet.

The waiting between production end and boarding the ship was the worst period because you didn't know when you'd get on a boat. This is slightly better, but now that it's so close the wait is just killing me.

I think I'm going to take a day off right after I get the car so we can become better acquainted.

it should probably be soon now. My brother's F30 was supposed to arrive at the dealership in Toronto this weekend (maybe Monday now due to DVP closure) and picking it up the following weekend. It probably comes in via batches

Did they call him already? See, I haven't received that call yet and they originally figured end of April. However since the car was dropped off at Halifax last Sunday I figured, hey, a week to get to Toronto is generous right?

^ I can see your excitement!

I've decided NOT to wait for the 2013 model and order what I like as it is! I need my new 3 series ASAP!!!

Are you planning on doing any mods to the car or keep it stock?

I believe his car crossed the sea via the TURANDOT. They already set up a pick up date of Saturday next week.

You mean this coming Saturday? The Turandot preceded Bess by only 4 days so that would bode well for me.

Hey, that's great! You'll have to let us know what you end up picking.

I want to enjoy the car in it's stock form. I'll consider a light tint if the fancy takes me, but I don't have any other plans for now.

Good to hear, thanks for the info.

Hm, so if I assume a 4 day gap then ideally I would get a call Wednesday. I guess we'll see.

I was assigned a slot March 9 and started production March 12. Dates are approximate of course.

You could be right about CP vs CN, I'm really not sure. Anyway it doesn't seem like anyone here has one of the online accounts to track with.

Just plugged my VIN into the Hansen web site and it came up with something!

But... it's a bit strange. Apparently they're supposed to pick up my car today and ETA at the dealership in Toronto by Friday. How the heck is it supposed to take 4 days to get from Concord to Toronto???

Still... so close! I can feel it!

Well for the benefit of future buyers who might be reading this, they delivered to the dealership on the 20th, i.e. the very last day of the ETA. And right at the end of the day at that.
