For several years, much of Sounder fleet was leased out as only a very few cars were actually needed:

101-103 to Virginia Railway Express V101-V103

104 to Metrolink 6104

105 to Virginia Railway Express V105

106-108 to Metrolink 6106-6108

109-111 (used by Sounder)

(112-118) sold to Caltrain

201-209 to Virginia Railway Express V301-V309

210 to Metrolink 2210

211-212 to Virginia Railway Express V311-V312

213 to Metrolink 2213

214 to Virginia Railway Express V314

215-218 (used by Sounder)

(219-226) sold to Caltrain

227-228 to Virginia Railway Express V327-V328

(229-230) sold to Caltrain

231-232 to Metrolink 2231-2232
