The US Army subsequently contacted VRE with an interest in purchasing up to three GP39 locomotives and up to twelve gallery railcars. Since previous Board authority remains for only the locomotives and sale of five gallery cars (and the Army requested twelve), a Request for Interest (RFI) was posted on the VRE website for the extra seven railcars. To-date, VRE has received no additional offers.
VRE and the United States Army are still negotiating the terms of the agreement, including price and the release date of the equipment. Due to the need for Commission approval and an interest by the United States Army to expedite delivery, authorization is being sought at this time for the Chief Executive Officer to complete negotiation of the sales agreement, including a potential lease on commercially reasonable terms prior to closing; execute it; and then conclude the sale with concurrence by VRE legal counsel

I wonder what US Army plans to do with the equipment, since they are the end of their useful lives
