East Coast FL5 Delivery Estimates/Confirmations

[Bonito]

I’ll be here, @tuhroo is probably gonna be there too.

They just posted a video of them adding TE37s, swift springs, and some OEM parts to a CW FL5. Really cool and thorough work.

It actually did have "finished automobiles", but they weren't in the derailed cars. Hopefully there weren't any FL5s, and hopefully whatever they were managed to avoid damage.

"The rest of the train included a couple of liquid propane and ethanol tankers and cars with mixed freight, steel and finished automobiles, which did not overturn, Mr. Barner said, adding that many of the cars that derailed were empty box cars."

ADM was 5k. I got lucky really with reserving it. I had called them the end of November or so and they said they already had deposits from three people so they weren’t taking anymore. Just for the fun of it I messaged them again through their website the second week of January and the one they had coming was available with the 5k markup so I jumped on it. I asked about the other deposits and they said the people just got tired of waiting and backed out. I know Gates Honda also is selling for 5K over as they contacted me about one they had coming but I already had this one secured. If you need names of salesman let me know. Hope this helps.

Wow that's lucky. I was 5th in line at Honda World in Louisville when I reserved. Hopefully everyone in front of me gets tired of waiting too. They are pretty good about ADM and are only doing about a 2.5k dealer add-on package. I'm willing to do a 5k ADM so I'll check out Gates and the others around the area to see what they say.

Anyone else waiting on a GA car to arrive?

 

[ne_typer]

I just got an email from a New England dealer that a "third wave" car would be arriving any day now, possibly today. Has anyone else heard anything similar? This would be ahead of schedule...
