Oh great, now railfans will come out of the woodwork stating to use the Acela 1s on the Harrisbug-Philly line. Maintenance hogs.

Appears that Amtrak has terminated all Acela-1s lease and now owns them.  As well 8 HHPs are now owned.   Other sites mention that at least 1 and probably 2 HHps are being configured as cab cars.

601 and 627 are being sold.
