How old is the stock? Perhaps fully deprecated?
The Amtrak GE P42 locos are starting to be replaced with new Siemens 'Charger' derivatives, so I suspect the lead loco might become a parts donor. The Superliner cars, although getting somewhat old, are still valuable to Amtrak (as I don't think there's a replacement on the horizon yet?).
