Tracking my Golf\'s progress
Hi Folks. I thought I'd share this with the forum.
As of yesterday, my dealer gave me the computer printout of the our cars' status. It has left Halifax Sept 28/99 (yippee!). It sat in port for 18 days
Anyway, On the printout was the number of the railcar that our car is loaded on. Well, this is cool. We went to CN's website and put in the railcar number and I'm able to track it's progress across Canada! I'm pumped!
Canadian National's website is at: http:\\www.cn.ca
Go to the 'tracking' section.
The railcar number is broken up into two sections. The first section is four alpha characters, and the second field is a 6 digit number. For example: TTGX 961941.
So, yesterday it arrived Toronto, Ontario, and now it's in Foleyet, Ontario.
So, if you have a car on order, get your dealer to get the railcar number! This is neat. Please note that this is for Canadian orders only. I imagine there are similar ways to track this in other countries.
Just had to share this info!
Harry.
