Tracking a new BMW on CN rail form Halifax

sbeng · 11-17-2010, 09:50 PM

Does anyone have a CN rail account? My 2011 bmw 335xi came into Halifax on Nov. 8, 2010. I have the VIN and would love to track it across the country to Vancouver.

you'd have to know the railcar # to do that

sbeng · 11-24-2010, 12:24 PM

I do have the rail car #. Ijust need someone with a CN rail account to check it for me.

Brandon26pdx · 11-24-2010, 01:06 PM

ok what is it then? Ill see for you

sbeng · 11-24-2010, 04:51 PM

Rail car # is CNA 712818

If that does not work just try CN712818

Thanks, I really appreciate the effort!

Would you mind checking once more. I would like to see if anything as chnaged. Thanks so much

Steelroads shows that railcar "Held/Delayed" in Port Mann, BC as of 10:40 PM on 11/23. That's the latest update. Says destination is New Westminster, BC.

I wonder if that is the end of the line for Vancouver & it is transported to dealership from there by truck. My dealer cannot seem to tell those kind of details.

Brandon26pdx · 11-26-2010, 03:13 PM

"Placed Actual" in Annacis, BC on 11/26 @ 3:30 AM.

This might be the last sighting before they unload the railcar. Theoretically they could have it on a truck for delivery to the dealership this next week, but I have no idea how fast the turnaround is with them in their car hauling operation. I'd be curious to know what day it arrives at the dealer.

just wondering if anyone could help me track my 135 it arrived in Halifax earlier today!
