From what I've read on the forums, if you're shipping via rail, the ford performance chat guys can lookup your rail status. Keep in mind it will not show up in palsapp until it hits a convoy truck (typically the last leg of the trip for those of you shipping via rail)
i just chatted ford performance and they said mine was traveling by rail

Cool. It should also show on your window sticker at the bottom. It should say "rail" or "convoy". Ford Performance chat can also give you a location status while on rail, once it gets moving.

Just prepare yourself for the worst on rail. There have been some that go quick, some have been delayed for weeks sitting at a depot, some have been part of a train derailment (~2 months ago), and some take rail paths way out of the direction you would expect. But, they all make it their destination (minus those on derailment). Wishing the best for you all.

Very strange...I just chatted with PF and Anthony said his tracker does not show that it has shipped. All of my public-facing trackers show it has shipped.

So my window sticker shows:
Ford F-150 8/2 Build Week 1632237434037

Does that mean it does not go by rail at all?

Here is an example of a window sticker shipped via rail:

Also, I'm sure many of you guys know this but, if you don't.... There's actually hidden information on your window sticker. You can see it by highlighting portions of the window sticker in a PDF viewer. Then, copy/paste into a word/text document. See the highlight example below. There's not really anything revealing here except the destination address and other superfluous info.

Congratulations! I haven't added you to the 8/2 Limbo List since you're technically from the class ahead of us, but you post here a bunch... would you like me to stick you on the list as an Honorary 8/2 Truck? Not that you're really in Limbo, any more...

Haha. Good bunch here. Admittedly, I'm from PFD's class too. Jumped over to the 8/2 club because our 7/26 build club forum was so quiet. :)

Just an FYI to everyone, My truck shipped the 11th and Pals still shows nothing "null". Called my dealer and its in Illionis getting loaded onto a truck headed for Iowa as we speak.

Not sure about the pals updates. Just wanted to give everyone thats shipping this week a heads up.
