It is difficult to find an official source for this surprising answer but britishexpats.com/forum/maple-leaf-98/… corroborates. "Re: Amtrak Cascades Van - Seattle Hubby went on it recently - they did US immi at Van , , they asked if he had an ESTA" and "Yep, we went last summer and they asked me for an ESTA too."

@chx Quite. The only even remotely authoritative source I can find is the Amtrak website: "Travelers crossing from Canada into the U.S. on Amtrak Cascades trains AND are NOT U.S. or Canadian citizens nor have a valid visa, MUST have an approved ESTA, otherwise a paper form CBP I-94 will be required."

Furthermore: "Amtrak Cascades trains do not fall under the U.S. CBP “Land Border Crossing” definition."

If there was an edit to this answer to provide a link to the fact about trains not being a land border, I would delete my accepted answer.
