Major delays with CN rail
Stopped by the dealer just now and spoke to the GSM. He tells me CN has major backlog within Canada (especially trains going out west). Average delay time is 1.5 months. They have sent request to load my car as priority but really not sure if that will help.
This is probably why people in Toronto are getting their cars trucked and it is also much quicker to get their cars. |

1.5 months is inequitable.

They have to compensate you or something, no?

This issue with CN rail has been going on for quite a while now. Apparently there is a shortage of rail cars in both Canada and the US to transport the cars from Autoport.

No as my order got screwed up!The car was built without the EDC so I reordered the car which was to be a July production unit.I also changed my colour to Moonstone which pushed the car back to a late August build which means September delivery at best.It is a good thing that I did not do the Euro delivery as I would not have accepted the car if I had been thinking rationally This is the 3rd BMW in a row that has had equipment shortfalls or wrong colours that I have ordered.I have been shown the dealer receipt's of the order being correct so the issue seems to be an internal BMW issue!

So my car sits in Halifax and gets pooped on by seagulls while it waits for a train that is not coming, so i hope it gets trucked in ASAP!

All I have is a X1 they gave me to use. So I ride the K1300S, even when it rains!

Just googled CN Rail Delays and found this article:
http://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/canada/...rail-1.1907237 Could this be part of the reason? 2 automobile carriers were part of the derailment. I would rather have my car sitting in Halifax than be on that rail car |
