Default Rail Car Cities / Maps

Anyone know of a site that shows the actual rail routes with the various misspelled cities along the way? The Union Pacific route map on their site is at a much higher level than Google Earth would allow - OK yes I've waited too long and want to know exactly where it really is!

Been tracking mine through Kansas and found some info for Altvista Kansas (which I've only found in various other spellings) and Whicity Kansas but needless to say the closest is Wichita!

The vehicle is now one state away and I literally will be on the phone as soon as the dealership opens - and tracking it hourly.

Just have an uneasy feeling as the timing is a bit strange. The fact that it was sent without any explanation - via phone or any written reason - has made the past hours very unnerving!

I called the number in the first post to get an update from my order number... but it's only for US orders :( They gave me a number for customer service in Canada, but then I'm told they don't have the ability to track build progress in Canada!!!
Man that is the dumbest thing ever. So basically I have to wait until it shows up at the dealer!

My Jeep is but a short 3-3.5 hour "drive" from me sitting in the rail yard in Council Bluffs....says it was unloaded the 19th, with delivery date of the 26th to the dealer. WTH....it takes a WEEK for them to load it on a semi and drive it 3 hours this direction? I asked the dealer if the trucking company limited their drivers to first gear only....but hell, I think I could probably WALK that distance in less than a week.

Not sure if there is any way for them to get it to them faster....after waiting almost 6 months, to know it is now sitting only 3 some hours away in a rail yard, and think of it taking another week to get here....

My dealer told me the same thing. It would take a week to go from the rail yard to the dealership (20 miles tops)

Sure, maybe you can take a digital camera and get some pics for me too...I think the wait now knowing it is so close is worse than the past 6 months have been up to this point.
