Excuse me, what is the limitation here against tagging "Extremely long Amtrak relations"? Some of those Amtrak services, while long, in my knowledge are still far from the longest in the OSM database, like they're shorter than the train route between Moscow to Pyongyang, which have been tagged as a regular relationship with no observable problem to me. In my opinion, since these long Amtrak service are still just a single services, with no break or cha.ge of train or change of train number in-between, it seems outright bogus to tag them separately, and would confuse anyway who wish to use OSM data to provide navigation involving such train routes.
