Let's see:  Various Amtrak liveries, RTA, METRA, MBTA, VIA, CalTrain, and the Cabbage cars.  Is WBB game?

What do you mean by various Amtrac liveries?
The other initials are for various companies that Amtrac leases the right of way from, in other words Amtrac pays those companies money to travel on their tracks.
News from Florida about Amtrac traveling on the east coast. Amtrac & the U.S. government need to come up with the required money before Amtrac will travel down the east Coast of Florida or run on Florida East Coast railway. The cost used to be near $700.00 a train to run on FEC tracks, about seven years ago.

Add south Florida's Tri-Rail to that list; they have two F40s rostered; 810 & 811 (ex-AMTK #363 and 369). The long-forgotten Florida Fun Train also had three more that kept their Amtrak numbers: 354, 358, & 374, the paint job looked like it hit a paint truck at high speed.
