Were you on the east coast when you booked the trip? Somehow the trip got recorded as 10:02am ET.
No, I booked it last week while I was in Vallejo.

So, there is your bug.

Maybe AGR Insider can point us to the team at Amtrak Technology that rewards users for finding simple bugs that should have been captured during beta testing.
Perhaps related but could very well be separate. Google Calendar has its own time zone quirks, and I'd suspect they're dealt with separately from how one deals with Apple's Passbook. That said, it does seem that Amtrak believes the world is centered on the East Coast (a view shared by many East Coasters, IME...).
