UPS Ground....by rail?

Unread post by Loco_Engr »

I recently bought something off Ebay from a guy in Loveland, CO, which will be shipped via UPS Ground. Any chance it might go by rail, say from Denver to Chicago? Tracking says it was shipped this evening, with an ETA of 1/19. Sounds like a long time for that distance. Wish there was a way to track what train it will be on....

Thats prolly why it took my exhuast kit 2 weeks to get from Texas to the Wixom Hub. The driver was amazed at the kit when I told him what it was.

Well so far it's made it from Loveland to Commerce City, CO. Looks like rail. Now the question is UP or BNSF?

Probably BNSF via Z-DENCHI1.

What ever it ends up on, its a good guess that it could end up on the NS into Toledo.

Never thought about that. I just figured they would truck it from Chicago since it's not a priority shipment.
