Twelve cars remain leased by SEPTA at this time, running in two 6-car trainsets.
MARC IIa cab cars 7747, 7753
MARC IIb trailers 7716, 7719, 7721-7722, 7726-7728, 7730-7734, and 7792.
Amtrak has extended SEPTA's lease of two ACS-64 locomotives through February.

The sale of the MARC cars to SEPTA may have also fell through.

Makes me wonder where they're turning that train, or if they're serving it off the AMTRAK tracks...

As I recall, the order was for 13 to replace 8 AEM7/ALP-44 units, which suggests an order for more passenger cars is needed, but I haven't seen that. MARC cars would provide a logical stopgap for at least part of that additional capacity, whether leased or bought.
