The Sounder trainsets are still in service. See http://www.vre.org/service/consist.htm. The cars noted a "B" are Sounder cars. This chart will show you what train to set up for depending what you want to see.........

I wish more railroads would take the hint from VRE. VRE Not only allows you to take photos, they ENCOURAGE IT, and even POST your shots on their website, see http://www.vre.org/fun/hotshot.htm.

In mid-July, VRE staff was able to renegotiate their lease with Sounder. 
These cars will need to be returned to Seattle in December 2007.
