That is my interpretation of the story as well. 88 cars for Illini, Saluki, IL Zephyr, River Runner, Blue Water, and Wolverine. Another recent order will go for Hiawatha but the builder has not been awarded as it's a week old or so. I'd advocate for gallery cars for a 90-minute "almost commuter" ride but they don't pay me the big bucks to figure this stuff out. There are quite a few trains operated with commuter density equipment that have longer rides, such as Montauk, South Bend, and Port Jervis.
It's not clear if the Pere Marquette is on that 88 car pool, I seem to remember some sort of exception but maybe I'm dreaming. It usually operates either with the IL Zephyr equipment on turn or whatever they can scrounge out of 14th street, which has included Superliner, Horizon, Amfleet so far this year.
