I don't recollect being asked for my ID while riding Amtrak on the Northeast Corridor in the last 2 years. I don't even print the stubs anymore - I just use the Amtrak app / Passbook on my phone to display my ticket.

Same here -- I take the NEC every month or so and have never been asked for my ID in around 3 years.

I was once asked for my AAA card when using that discount on the regional, but even that is extremely rare.

It's not asked on the train, it's asked when you buy the ticket at the window. If you use your CC, they then have id info presumably.
