First Amtrak dropped printed schedules and now you can't even get online .pdf schedules for many routes. That's asinine. I don't know if it's just temporary as a result of the pared down schedules or what. I contacted customer support and the response was:
"While Amtrak continues to operate, we have temporarily suspended some services due to reduced demand. For this reason, our online Schedules and Timetables are not available at this time. we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. The most current information may be obtained under the ‘Book Tickets’ tool on http://amtrak.com or by calling an Amtrak agent. "
I may be old fashioned, but I find it useful and convenient to have a schedule to reference, whether on my phone, computer or in hand. Arlines don't need them since their service is strictly point to point but serving many intermediate stops makes schedules essential. It can't be that difficult to update when necessary and re-post.
