I'm wondering what Amtrak are going to do with Metroliners? Are they going to store them until another Acela breakdown?

Much of the current Metroliner equipment was obtained by robbing other trains and spares around the system. Therefore, they would likely start to go back to where they came from.

Well the first priority I believe would be to re-equip trains the way they were before the incident, release Horizons from Empire Service, send some cars back to the Downeaster, etc.
