Even if they wanted to bring it back, the necessary superliner equipment has probably been reassigned to a much more useful rotation
By accounts, Amtrak would not realistically have the Superliner equipment available to support this service now. But, the current shortage should be taken care of when a Superliner III order is placed and new Superliners are delivered. Equipment is not the issue. The key issue is that Amtrak is under a lot of pressure to reduce operating losses. Amtrak is not going to restore a loss leader service unless they have specific funding for it or they can reduce losses enough on the other LD trains over the next several years that they can afford to cover the restored service from the annual operating subsidy. The best strategy, though, may be to wait for $5 to $6 a gallon gas.
The title of this thread is mis-leading, BTW. It should read Amtrak asked to come back to Tallahassee.
