Why don't Trains Maz start printing Amtrak Systemwide Timetable, make some money from it. Amtrak should ever stop printing these timetable. I love to have update systemwide timetable.
The Amtrak system timetable is more than 130 pages: https://www.amtrak.com/content/dam/projects/dotcom/english/public/documents/timetables/Amtrak-System-Timetable-0318.pdf
You can download and print it, if you want it on paper.Regards, Volker
Airlines stopped printing timetables years ago since there is little real demand for them and Amtrak is following suit for the same reason. I've observed that timetables for individual lines are still available in their service areas so not all is completely lost.
As an aside, I don't recall any urban transit agencies that printed systemwide timetables for their suburban rail service.
I believe Tri-Rail (SFRTA[South Florida Regional Transport Athourity]) still has timetables at their stations, last time I want was december and I was able to grab a timetable from a box holding them. Now you can find the timetable online, but for the older folks, and younger, physical copy would be better. No offense if any was taken. I wish I had a copy on hand, but for that I would have to ride the train!
I am pretty sure you can find a copy of the paper timetable online.

NJT print they timetable. I think Trains Maz could make money by printing Amtrak Timetable.
Will not name station for obvious reasons but station prints the timetable in Amtrak's web site of the route it serves. Places those copies in a rack outside the ticket window. The station prints about 100 at a time several times a month to replinish its inventory..
But of course passengers don't want to know which town they are passing thru ? Sounds stupid ?

It's available. I'm sure that more than a few people will print it out since the expense isn't that great.

The timetable is a .pdf document. You can print just the page(s) that you want. For example, Page 59 in the March 2018 edition of the timetable has the schedule for the Pennsylvanian, which can be printed if desired without printing the whole table.
Better yet, if you have a smart phone or a tablet, you can download the table and look-up any of the schedules.

I've adopted the JPS1 solution -- download the timetable book to my computer and before a trip print the page(s) applicable to that trip.
It is also possible to go to the list of train schedules and print the schedule, complete with notes, of the train(s) you need.
There are several NE Corridor schedules, each one can be printed on two sides of a sheet of paper; you may need another sheet for the notes.

Would SOMEONE please enlighten me on why this person continually refers to the publication as 'Trains Maz' even on his member page?

In my travels over the years of Amtrak operation, I do not recall seeing any other passenger using a system timetable.
I myself have appreciated having a publication with almost pf the the desirable information in it (just I at times carried the latest issue of the Guide with me--and, once or twice, was able to help another passenger who had a question about a connecting train).
