There are similar threads to this such as "Which Star Alliance carriers have you flown?" so I thought this might be fun for us here in the Amtrak forum. I'll start obviously.

Capitol Corridor
Carolinian
Coast Starlight
Empire Builder
Northeast Regional
Keystone
Pacific Surfliner
Piedmont
Southwest Chief
Sunset Limited
Wolverine

This one required some thinking about what the routes are actually called. In rough order of when I first took them:

Carolinian
Adirondack (beautiful but sloooooooow)
Vermonter (back when they ran a bus between Montreal and St. Albans)
NE Regional (as far south as Lynchburg, as far north as Boston)
Piedmont (2-3 roundtrips a week these days)
Lincoln
Crescent
Acela

Mizzu River Runner, Texas Eagle, Hiawatha Service, Palmetto, Maple Leaf, Adirondack, Cardinal, Auto-Train, Acela, Surfliners, Coast Starlight, Empire Builder, NE Regionals, Capital Limited all this year.

Previously have ridden: City of New Orleans: Downeaster, Wolverine, Pere Marquete, Broadway Limited, Lake Shore Limited, North Coast Hiawatha, , Illini, Dubuque Service, Super Chief, Cali Zephyr, Silver Star, Pioneer, Sunset Limited, San Diegans, Inter-American, Vermonter (to Amherst), Michigan Executive, Twilight Limited, Crecent (to Atlanta)

And sadly, TRAINS Over-Slept & MISSED: D&RGW, Southern Crescent, pre-Amtrak.

GoAmtrak

I'm fortunate to have traveled the entire current Amtrak system, plus the following abandoned route segments:

International (Port Huron-Toronto)
Three Rivers (Pittsburgh-Chicago via Akron)
Kentucky Cardinal (Indianapolis-Louisville)
Sunset Limited (New Orleans-Jacksonville and Los Angeles-Pomona via Alhambra)
Southwest Chief (San Bernardino-Los Angeles via Pasadena)

I've also covered a few detour routes, including:

California Zephyr (Denver-Salt Lake City via Wyoming)
Coast Starlight (Los Angeles-Sacramento via Bakersfield and the UP route)
Texas Eagle (Dallas-Texarkana via Gilmer)

The only service I haven't taken is the Auto Train and its arguably unique terminal lead tracks.

My list is uninteresting except for the following:

CA Zephyr detour - Wyoming
CA Zephyr detour - Winnemucca, NV to Roseville, CA via the Feather River Canyon
Empire Service - a mini-detour around Schenectady/Albany (you head south after Amsterdam, and end up on the tracks to Boston)

PlateMan

Not much for me.

Northeast Regional (WAS-NYP-WAS)
Acela (ditto)
Cascades (Seattle-Vancouver)
Pacific Surefliner (Los Angeles-San Diego)

All on the normal old trainsets too

There was a time in Amtrak's history when the Wyoming route was the regular route of the California Zephyr (actually, back then it was called the San Francisco Zephyr)...and an all-too-brief time when that was the regular route of, I believe, the Pioneer.

And the Feather River Canyon route was the original route of the California Zephyr, pre-Amtrak -- I hope that got mentioned aboard the train when you were on that detour.

Hey, that's off-topic for this thread!

My list:
Silver Meteor (NYP-TPA)
California Zephyr (DEN-Oakland/Emeryville)
City of New Orleans
Pacific Surfliner (LAX-SAN)
Coast Starlight (LAX-PDX)
Empire Builder (PDX-CHI, detour La Crosse-CHI due to freight derailment)
Southwest Chief
Wolverine (CHI-Ann Arbor)
Northeast Corridor (Bridgeport-PHL)

You'd think someone who goes by "trainman" might have a longer list, but no.

River in Sight

I'm not quite sure, but I believe I've got them all:

• Acela Express (WAS-BOS) - more times than I care to count
• Northeast Regional (WAS-BOS along with WAS-CVS, WAS-NPN) - again, more times than I care to count
• Empire Service (NYP-ALB) along with other named services on this route, e.g. Maple Leaf
• Capitol Limited (WAS-CHI)
• Downeaster (BON-DOV)
• Keystone / Pennsylvanian (PAO-NYP)
• Lake Shore Limited (ALB-BOS)
• Pacific Surfliner (SAN-LAX)
• Silver Service (WAS-TPA)
• Vermonter (WAB-SPG)
  
  In addition, I rode the now-deceased Metroliner back in the early 2000s.

The old Amtrak run from Nashville to Chicago in 1975 (What was that called?)
And an old L & N or Southern Railway run from Chattanooga to Atlanta in 1967 (Felt very much the same as a Civil War era ride must have felt!). Can't remember which one, but it was the one that left from the old station across from the Read House in Chattanooga in those days. Southern maybe?
