People talk of using GPS devices on Amtrak (if you're in a sleeper of course). But I heard some use scanners to monitor Amtrak chatter. Is this true? Any manufacture recommendations?

Yes, true.
Mine is a bearcat, but most of them on the market are pretty decent.

Mine is also Uniden. Almost any scanner will do including the inexpensive so-called "NASCAR" scanners. You just need a 200 channel memory to program in the "AAR" (American Association of Railroads) frequencies.

You don't need to be in a sleeper berth to use GPS or a scanner.
Sleepers have thin walls so either way you should probably use ear buds or a headphone to listen to a scanner.
