Probably so they could continue price gouging. Amtrak ticket prices have gotten outta control.

I saw prices for the trains get super high after a while; I purchased my ticket from Philly to New York at $19; I purchased it about a month in advance and my return was super lucky; snagged a $26 one the day of. It was kinda rough to see a ticket that you bought for $19 go up to $72 a couple weeks later.

$19 is the base fare and like you said, if you plan about a month out you can basically always get it.
