Reply to comment by DonQOnIce in Pro-tip - currently there are easily found amtrak one way fares to DC and NYC from 30th Street for $10 in April and May by RoughRhinos

PA Amtrak rides I believe are set prices. Maybe California as well. No matter what it will be $21 one way to Lancaster from Philly which honestly is a little annoying because it feels too pricey but it is nice to book 20 minutes before the train ride. Really wish Amtrak would get rid of dynamic pricing for the whole system though. And add more sleeper options for way way cheaper.

I used to ride Amtrak in California and yeah it was always the same price. Except the years they raised the price of course

It would need a lot more capacity to be able to get rid of dynamic pricing without every train being sold out well in advance. I don't know if there are any tunnel limitations but hopefully they can get double deckers on the NER at some point.
