In Portland on Saturday, we saw a spare Amfleet coach parked, presumably there so it could be swapped into the Downeaster if one of the Downeaster trainsets had a coach that needed to be swapped out unexpectedly.
Given that the spare coach is unlikely to carry many revenue passengers in any given week of being scheduled to sit in Maine, wouldn't it be better to park a spare Horizon in Maine, and let revenue passengers elsewhere in the system who are currently enjoying a Horizon coach ride in that Amfleet every day?
