I was researching Virginia Railway Express a year or so ago and discovered that their ex-METRA Pullman bi-levels were going to be phased out. But just today I was looking at a YouTube video, and it appears that cars in VRE paint are now running on METRA. Does anyone have more info?

There's one running around, apparently one of the Pullman 16-windows although I haven't looked closely. No one can say anything good about the paint scheme.

METRA has gone to VRE to buy back the gallery cars,CSX had some fun by rerouting them back home.
METRA claimed they had a car shortage at the time.
