I was reading someplace, I forget where, that the current order of Rotem cars about to start to metrolink in LA was combined with an order or an option for Tri-Rail? Can anyone clarify this?

Note, according to the second link:
The contract includes another option for 14 trailer cars and 10 cab cars to be delivered to the South Florida Regional Transportation AuthorityI've seen some other sources saying the order was confirmed, others suggest otherwise. Considering the funding issues, I have my doubts if this option was exercised. Mind you, Metrolink's cars are already due sometime at the end of this month, supposedly, and one is already on its way to the States. No word on any TRCX cars.
Don't hold your breath.
