How many Sleepers that are at BG can be repaired without going over the Wreck Repiar budget?

All I know of is

32018 wrecked in Stevenson, WA $100K in Damage

32048 Elertical Fire in KC 1/30/05 I saw it before it happened that night

32501 wrecked in the Auto Train

Any more that can be repaired?
 
I think 62013 is still out of service from the Hinesville Wreck, though it is repairable. It probably is (at least should be) one of the next ones that should be repaired soon, as Viewliners especially are at a premium right now. I can't be sure on this as I have unoffical sources mostly, but I haven't heard of its release unlike 62011 from the same wreck.

Really? That would be great if it finally were, what I find interersting is OTOL reporting 62001 and 62014 (but not 62013) as being released as wreck repairs. I don't remember hearing they were involved in any wreck, in fact I may have seen one or both of these in my December-January and February trips...am I forgetting something here?
