Passenger Trains > Superliners in short haul service/storage

What short-haul routes are using Superliners? Any in storage besides wrecked ones?

I know about 5 maybe is in the northern California Pool.
4 cars are in the Caltrans paint scheme.

I think about a dozen or so in the Surfliner pool.
With about 6 more coming soon.

I think a few are on the Blue Water, and one other route.
That is based out of Chicago/mid west.

I think.

The Pere Marquette between Chicago and Grand Rapids, MI typically uses three Superliners.

There is one fresh out of the shops arriving in LAX today on #3.  Super clean!

As of late, there has been at least one Superliner Diner and one Superliner Sightseer Lounge in the Surfliner pool. They've been substituting for the lack of Coach/Cafe Surfliners.

The cars in the Surfliner and Amtrak California paint jobs were repaired using State of California money and are on a long term lease from Amtrak.

Yes, especially in winter. The Pere Marquette has easy access to a wye in Grand Rapids (the GRR station sits in the middle of it), so push-pull operation isn't required and in winter the Superliner vestibules do not fill up with blowing snow coming up from between the cars. When you combine that with the low floor lever (i.e., no steps), it makes them MUCH safer for boarding/detraining at locations where large amounts of lake-effect snow fall every season.
