Does Amtrak send passport information to the CBP so exits from the US can be recorded?

No, Amtrak does not send passport information to the CBP. Only air and sea carriers do. Source: CBP. However note that Canada exchanges entry details with the US, so Canadian border security should automatically send your exit information to the Americans.

Note that Amtrak doesn’t routinely verify the IDs of passengers on-board, at most they make sure you have a Canadian visa or visa free passport. And even if the conductor checked your ID in New York, what would stop you from simply disembarking at the next station? Therefore they’re not part of the “electronic I-94” program.
