Default Help, my car is stuck on a train...

My car was suposed to arrive last week, but the dealer called to tell
me the air brakes on the train that it was on, went out. And now
they can't give any kind of estimate as to when it will arrive.

They told me it was on its way as of last Monday.

I know of a few of you work at Ford Dealerships, have you heard of
anything like this before?

Is there any thing I can do?

I'd read of a similar situation over at blueovalforums.com...poor guy had to wait for the train car to get fixed, then back to next mixing lot...that would suck.

What is it with these trains, I also just received word that my train has been held up for mechanical probs after already missing 2 eta's. My mustang was built, and supposedly shipped, on Dec 12. Do they really have all of these problems, or is something else going on here? but it will be worth the wait.
