Philip morris did not own all of themPer Amtrak's Office of the Inspector General, it's assumed they're all under the lend/lease deal. I would also consider all of them under the lawsuit unless specifically named in the charging documents.

So it's a wash to think so.

MARC's Hippo's are an R&D project,NO results!
Amtrak's Hippo's,Legal Hold,lessor vs Amtrak,over "missing parts"
End of story.
