Passenger Trains > Amtrak #136???

Amtrak #68 is operating today with two trainsets in tandem. The pictures show it departing Montreal's Central Station (crossing the Lachine Canal) with locomotives 111 and 110 in front, and locomotive 105 mid-train.

Did 68's break down, got stranded in Montreal, had to call buses, and now being towed back ?
I guess the 2nd lead unit is needd to tow the extra trainset, which is dead in tow.

Anyone know the details of the "breakdown" of this trainset and how passengers were handled? Wasn't aware that the Adirondack had broken down.  

- If it broke down enroute to Montreal, Amtrak would have had to brought buses in to get passengers to Montreal.....
- The next day southbound Adirondack consist from Montreal would have had to have been bussed or train cancelled. I doubt Amtrak would have asked VIA for a train consist to Albany, even though things like this used to be done at one time. 

Didn't know there had been a problem with the Adirondack. 

VIA locos have run to Albany from Toronto and Montreal in the past. I don't know if that is done anymore. They are not equipped for cabs signalling on the higher speed portion of the route.
