Since this seems to keep coming up, I'll make it a separate thread.
Let me just throw out some of the things that keep resurfacing:
Will they be short haul, long haul, or split? long haul will require upgraded seating, NEC use would call for automatic door retro fit.
Toilet upgrades would most likely be modular installs, in the manner of the "Rail Plan" modules used previously by Amtrak.
Lighting and appearance upgrades might be another modular "package" upgrade, but I don't know enough about how the cars were built to comment on the practicality of this.
Other interesting possibilities open up for conversion of some SuperLiner trains to become single level and free up equipment. example: Cap Limited becomes single level making a through connection with Pennsylvanian easier. (needs single level diners & sleepers, shore power at PGH )
