There's probably a few extra steps before Amtrak police get involved but yeah, basically, that. Employees at the end of the long day not looking to dick someone over and assuming they made an honest mistake.
I used to ride the amtrak to Boston every day. When it was a simple mistake they'd have you buy a ticket. If you didn't buy a ticket, you met new friends on the platform!
This is why you need to get yourself an amtrak conductor's uniform and basically play out some weird low-grade "Catch me if you can" type script but with trains.
I can't prove it, but I suspect Joe Biden did that during the entirety of the 1980s
I took Amtrak from New London to NYC. Guy next to me had a metro pass, played dumb and got a reduce priced ride. The employee gave him a bunch of verbal lashings and a “don’t do it again” speech.

It's not a loophole. If the amtrak workers were paid enough to care, the amtrak police would have greeted you at rt 128
