Your mileage may vary, but I have always used business class and will continue to do so.
Amtrak tickets and receipts clearly show the upgraded service so there is no doubt that you took an upgrade, but I have never been asked about it and my trips are always about 1-2 hours. I know other pilots that book biz class as well and have not had problems.
Book answer? Who knows, but this has been my experience.

I upgraded on the Shinkansen bullet train between NRT-TOKYO-KIX with no problem from the audit folks. As long as the ticket is below $200 (of course, anything above $100 needs your manager's approval) I don't think it matters.

Unless things have changed in the last 6 months or so, Trains aren't considered GT for some reason so the $200 limit shouldn't apply.

The $100 and $200 limits DO apply to trains. You can submit the request after the fact, just make sure you do it before you submit your travel report.
Also, I've taken Amtrak a few times and always purchased a first class ticket without any problems on trips less than 5 hours. Its still usually cheaper than a plane ticket.

I purchased a last minute train ticket over $100 and forgot to put in a request. When I tried to submit my expense report it limited the amount to $100. It took an email from my ACP to reconcile the expense.
How have you submitted your expenses in excess of $100 without an approval? I'd be more than happy to be with fecav8r too!
