Subaru uses them on the other end of the line

Tell them that you are with an online automotive news source (it's close to true) and you are working on a story about the Subaru BRZ. Ask them if they can confirm whether or not any vehicles are on site at the moment. Ask them if it is at all possible for you to bring a camera to the facility to snap a couple shots of cars sitting in the parking lots. If they will allow you inside.. great.. if not ask them if it's possible to snap a shot or two for your article from outside the facility.. if perhaps there is a road nearby that might offer a view with a telephoto lense?

Worst case is they say sorry.. can't give you any info.

I will see what I can do. What if I just tell them straight up that I pre ordered a BRZ and I was just anxious if there is any sign of em around here?

You can ask them whatever you like.. I wonder if you might get a little further saying you are with a "media outlet" rather than just an excited individual owner-to-be.

But I could be wrong..

Well, if this is the case, then there is no reason to scout out the BNSF facility.

I wonder where in Aurura they would be storing the cars.. maybe there is a regional auto transport company with a depot in Aurora.. They might shuttle the cars from the rail yard to the transport depot and then fill them onto trucks from there.

No this is all from my dealer who is hearing from the distributor. But he said a chicago one was delivered an hour ago.

Just called SOA, and my status is unchanged from last Friday, when I was told it had been loaded onto the train. ETA is unchanged as 05/29.
