This website should be able to help the folks in Canada track by rail. Lets pray that there is train ready for transport and our rides get here soon. The wait is killing a guy..

Its killing everyone!

I still got to wait till it gets to New York. Even after that i have no idea whats next for my little guy.

eouak · 04-09-2008, 03:08 PM

Has any tried the http://www.searail.ca/ site? Are you able to track the cars online or do you have to call?

PhAzE · 04-09-2008, 03:17 PM

I wish their site had the tracking system. Much easier to just input the VIN number in yourself.

eouak · 04-09-2008, 03:28 PM

I called Searail and they couldn't find my car, maybe my dealership used another method of transport...

PhAzE · 04-09-2008, 04:00 PM

Well thats if they have the cars registered and loaded for the train already. I'm pretty sure it will take them a few days. I'm going to try and call them on friday.

djmBMW · 04-09-2008, 09:11 PM

maybe just jump the freight train yourself and do the ho-bo ride along with her.

yaderhey · 04-10-2008, 06:50 PM

I actually am an owner of a 328xi Coupe, but my car is also on the Mignon, via the Elektra (did European Delivery a month ago).

Any idea what happens when the car is finally unloaded in New York? Can I track it from that point until it finally arrives in Milwaukee?

Getting pretty antsy, as I dropped it off in Paris on March 5.

Thanks!

PhAzE · 04-10-2008, 10:48 PM

My car was discharged today in Halifax, NS at 10/04/2008 05:46. Hopefully its on a train now!

Bringinthewolf · 04-11-2008, 12:38 AM

phaze did you get the info from your dealer?

PhAzE · 04-11-2008, 12:50 AM

Got it off the WWL site. I'll probably call the dealership on the weekend to get some more info. Not keeping my hopes up since there has been so many delays. Aiming for the first week of May window.

Bringinthewolf · 04-11-2008, 01:07 AM

I think the WWL site just shows discharge for their boat, then it hits the holding yard for the train

reo5001 · 04-12-2008, 10:53 AM

Well the mignon was successfully offloaded on 4/11/08

Now is literally the only time I can't track it......lets hope it gets to the dealer this week!:thumbup:

PhAzE · 04-13-2008, 06:19 PM

Anyone call recently to see if their cars are registered with searail?

eouak · 04-13-2008, 08:48 PM

I called on Friday and they didnt have any record fo my car.

eouak · 04-15-2008, 02:04 PM

Anyone have any news?

PhAzE · 04-15-2008, 02:41 PM

Nope, nothing yet

reo5001 · 04-15-2008, 04:02 PM

Has anyone called the 1800 number? I just called today and it went from the usual "En route" to "Car awaiting shipping vessel at port" :iono:

eouak · 04-15-2008, 04:27 PM

the 1-800 # for searail?

He's in the US. It looks like he is waiting for a ship not a train.

I talked to my CA this morning. He told me to expect three weeks for my car to get from the holding yard in Halifax to PDI at the dealership in Vancouver
