Car is now showing on CN website

I just traced my VIN on CN and finally they have some information. It is still in Halifax but at least there is a rail car number assigned now instead of zero information (even when I checked this morning it was not showing anything). I have no ETA but at least this is a good sign.

Edit: If you want to PM your VIN I can trace on CN for you.

Glad to hear - hopefully that translates to the car arriving in a reasonable amount of time

"Canadian National Railway Co, the country’s largest rail operator, reported a big jump in profit on Monday and bolstered its 2014 financial outlook, reflecting a swift recovery from last quarter’s tough winter weather. Revenue grew 17 per cent to C$3.11-billion, as carload volumes grew 11 per cent."

Emphasis added.

Whoa - things are happening! Another 10 days or so it will be at your front door. You must be getting pretty excited to see things moving after the wait.

This is encouraging, since I landed a week behind you, maybe that means next week I'll be on a train and moving. Fingers crossed.

And it seems there's currently about a 3 week "wait" in Halifax (for trains, not trucks).
