I enjoy creating website scripts using the Amtrak schedule. The problem is that I have always done it manually. Is there a database version of the Amtrak schedule that can be extracted and used as a base for my experimentation?

don't know about a database, but there is a pdf of all the timetables. May be able to leverage some software to convert it into a database.

Thanks for your help. That is not practical since every schedule has a different format making a conversion take as long as doing it manually. I also need to keep it updated and every new schedule could be a major project.
There's a GTFS feed linked through here: https://transit.land/feed-registry/operators/o-9-amtrak. It's updated semi-regularly via FOIA requests, but it may not automatically or immediately update with any schedule changes (as someone would have to file a new FOIA request to obtain the newest GTFS feed.)
