When did Metrolink aquire sounder cars?

Never mind, BNSFSammy answered my question.

Ok, thanks Sammy... For anyone else who wants to know, Metrolink acquired a lease for fifteen Sounder cars and one sounder locomotive in mid 2004, I believe a handfull more cars were leased down to Metrolink after the Glendale wreck to make a third complete six-car trainset, but with new cars being delievered currently to replace those damaged cars (eight cars piggybacked to Railrunner's order) and new cars on order from Nippon-Sharyo, the sounder (wave style cars) may soon begin dwindling in Metrolink's lineup once again. This shot was in LAUPT while I was training for my current Amtrak job, first time I'd seen the sounders... probably one of the most stunning commuter car paint jobs I've personally seen. Too bad it was coupled to a Metrolink F59PH, wish I could have seen the matching loco.
