I actually have no idea. I would like to know that as well. Sales guy says it should be here by the 19th but who knows. I cannot see it on CN rail tracking yet.

Here is my status so far.
Discharged at Halifax on Oct 02
Delivered at Halifax on Oct 03
load on CN rail around Oct 03-04
Train at Toronto on Oct 08
ETA to BC on Oct 14

So, it takes around 10 days to go from halifax to BC.
Hopefully I'll get it next week then, so long for the 3 months wait.

Looks like your car is on the same vessel as mine. Mine arrived in Halifax on the same day. So, you're saying the train will be in Toronto on Oct 8th? If it is true, that's GREAT!!!

I took it a step further and found a live camera in the Halifax port and actually watched the ship carrying my car coming in. Here's a pic:

I don't have access either, they declined my application.
That's the rough schedule I was told. And I'll let you guys know when it arrives.

If you guys want you can PM the VIN and I can check the CN website for you. Mine still doesnt show up on the CN tracking but the car was only unloaded yesterday for those who were on UNDINE.

Thank you OE
I think most on this thread that is waiting for their is from Undine.

Please keep us updated on CN when you get a ETA, then it won't be too long
for it to get to BC

I think it took me like 2-3 days after my car discharged to appear on the CN system.

I'm on Asian Emperor, but can't find the call tag for it.

Expected to dock in Halifax on the 15th.

it probably took a couple days from the docks of halifax onto a train. Lets say it got on a train on Wednesday or thursday. Seven days to toronto puts us at next thursday, from train it has to be unloaded onto a truck that might take an extra day to get there or two, then the weekend.

I'm not so sure the guys transporting the vehicles really give a rats ass when we get our cars

After checking 4 times a day since the Undine has dropped its cargo my car has finally shown up in the CN system. Its in Dartmouth Nova Scotia. Estimated time to Cloverbar in Edmonton is October 23. Just have to wait a little longer.
