At least on US, first class has boarded first as long as the planes have had first class, and now it's first class first and then by zone (i.e., Preferred members board right after first class).
US Airways at least has two boarding lanes leading up to the door to the jetway: one for first class and Preferred members, and "general boarding" for everyone else. That's one thing that Amtrak should definitely do at least, since if you are in first class or Preferred, you can avoid standing in an endless line when boarding.
