The only legal away for you to keep current on the status of your order is to get the info from your dealerperson. The dealerperson has access to the on-line Ford vehicle ordering system. That system contains everything the dealer knows about your order. As the order moves through the various stages of being assembled and being transported to the dealership, Ford updates the order status in that system.
I would call or stop by the dealership once a week and have my dealerperson do an inquiry against the order number to determine the current order status, print out the screen, and give it to me. The status will be in Greek, but we have a translator in the '99-up FAQ here on TheDieselStop, under "during your order".

When the status changes to "rail car assignment", then in some cases you can go to the railroad company website and trace the rail car across the country. Especially for those "out west", the railroad will be Burlington Northern Santa Fe, and the railcar will first go to a mixing yard in Kansas City, then head on out west.
