So is this illegal to just get off a stop or two earlier?? Thanks.
No. Amtrak does not prohibit point-beyond ticketing:

"Boarding Late, Leaving Early or Downgrading


"No refund or exchange credit is given if a passenger boards a train at a station beyond, or detrains at a station before, the station from or to which they were reserved, or if the passenger downgrades accommodations on the train."
