I have found a company called CSX that allows a person to track a rail car number if you have one. I have only tried this for a CN rail car (as I live in Canada). Their phone number is 800-235-2352. When you call and the automated voice answers, say location. it will then ask you for the rail car's initials which will be "TTGX" or something like that. It will then ask you for the rail car number and that is when you speak the numeric digits. The next step is to say done and it will tell you where the rail car is or was today.

 

Thanks FORDFAN77

 

No problem and it does work with United States trains that I checked on.

 

Great info FORD FAN77
Gives us the ability to track and do some of the work ourselves.
I wonder, time wise (ie: live tracking) it compares to FoMoCo updates.
Don't worry STCHAN, don't think this will cut into your business all that much and the service your provide.

 

Not worried....not like i was getting paid for each tracking post.

 

Just tried it, works pretty slick indeed.
Updates seem to be in line with FoMoCo.

 

Glad I'm not in the trains last car.
