Re: "Arrived at ramp"
The "ramp" is the rail terminal. But it can be one of two different railheads.
"Arrived at ramp" usually means the train with your truck on board as arrived at the nearest train terminal where the truck will be unloaded from the train and loaded onto a "car hauler" truck for the final leg of the journey to your dealer. It usually takes a day or so for the truck with your vehicle to leave the terminal. Sometimes it takes a week or so. Mine took 2 weeks, because of Memorial Day weekend and "labor problems" with the truck drivers. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]
But "arrived at the ramp" might also mean that your train has arived at a mixing yard - such as the huge rail yard in Kansas City - where the railcar will be switched to a different train before it heads on out towards your state.
If you live west of Kansas City, then your train probably arrived at that ramp before heading on west or southwest or northwest. In that case, your pickup is probably still a week or so away from the dealer.
Your dealer can give you the railcar number that your order was on. With that railcar number, you can usually go to the railroad company on the internet and trace that railcar.
