Really appreciate it Ethan - I am excited to pick it up - and my car will not only be tested at the track - I am a part of a Youtube show that will test it against (well we aren't sure yet lol)...so you will see it get pushed on road course and at the drags...

I am at the end at 22:23 racing my M550ix versus a Corvette Grandsport to prove a point about how AWD on a no prep surface makes a huge difference...

Lol - thanks! One of the cars we are thinking about racing against my M5 CP is a new V8 power car - and although it should be quicker (and is faster) - we get the track with zero prep applied - so although he will heat his tires - it will not be a blow out in any way - and any mistakes and I will take it. As an addendum - I don't have any malice against Corvette's as I am fortunate to own a (modded) one. Road course will be a blood bath if we use that car however - and the M5 will be dong the cutting...

eatvancity / Please contact your dealer again. Your vehicle is even further east now sitting at Toronto. It needs to head west as soon as possible.

Hi Ethan, awaiting your posts have become a morning routine for me as much as watching the morning news or having the morning coffee. I am sure many followers would agree. Thanks for taking your time to post the CN information. I have been watching my 2019 M5 rail across Canada for the last two weeks now. I see it is in Saskatchewan, so I predict in the next couple days it should finally reach home here in Edmonton. Than I will start to follow the Hansen's site.
Thanks again.

Ethan, when the shipment says Melville, SK, or any other city, is it arriving at that location, in that location or that was the last known location of the train?
I see it says 13c0636. I assume Aug 13, at 6:36am in Melville? When can we tell if it has departed?

She has arrived! MPPSK and all. Unfortunately I won't be able to pick it up for another two weeks but it feels good knowing she's safe and waiting for me. Thanks Ethan for your effort in tracking!

Hi Scott,

Yes, if tracking indicates certain location, that it means it is currently there. Some number of stops will take longer to depart (e.g. bigger terminal like Montreal, Toronto, Halifax, etc) other stops are rather just passing by. It will update its location as soon as it hits next station.

08 at the front indicates the month.
13 means the date. 0636 means 6:36 AM. So your guess is correct.
More detailed status can be traced using different type of tracking service.

Currently, your VIN shows result below;

They will show up tracking info once vehicle is on the railcar.
No one will be able to see when exactly it will be on. If you wish to know the general transit time, please read my original post. That should help.

Spoke to the sales rep today and said it has arrived in Langley today. Will pickup on Saturday morning and update with pictures. Thanks so much Ethan. You really helped us out a lot! If it wasn't for CN tracking our vehicle may have ended up back in Halifax..
