It is frustrating they no longer have PDF timetables on the web page. I typically look at either:
- Dixieland - which has maps like this one where you can hover over or pick trains -
Amtrak Status Maps - West
- Railrat - where you can see how current trains are doing -
https://railrat.net/routes/PacificSurfliner/ If there is an active train and the planned arrival/departure times match your future trip, you can at least get an idea of when major stops are planned.
Update: Apparently Dixieland also has schedules now -
Amtrak Schedules Summary
They've always had them for the Pacific Surfliner regional train line here in Southern California, even with the big problem of the track almost falling into the PAcific OCean at the south end of the City of San Clemente. This is the 'modified' schedule in use until the track gets fixed (late February last I heard). FWIW: The track problem also screwed up folks who do a popular day ride from the Los Angeles/Orange County area to San Diego (or vis-versa if you like headwinds!); ride either direction then take the Pacific Surfliner back to your home destination area.

The schedule also changes in the summertime to accomodate tourists.
