There must be some regulatory stuff going on with rail car tracking or something. It seems to be deliberately difficult to get tracing info with all of the rail companies. It's like the polar opposite of normal shipping and logistics companies. Once you have a tracking number on UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL, etc you can go to a website and track. You don't need to prove you were the shipper, have your articles of incorporation, dna sample and family tree ready to create an account or whatever. Just odd ...
