So, I just want to know what the customs procedure is like on Amtrak to NYC from Montréal once you reach the border. I have an Irish passport so I don’t need a visa. What happens when you reach the border? Do the US officials come on the train and see your passport and just go to the next person? How does it work. Need details. Thanks :)

The fact that you are showing a non US/Canada passport would lead them to be more alert.
You still need a ESTA approval, which you don't have based on your previous question:
Comment from @phoog: With the ESTA denial, a visa will be necessary.
Sources:
Effective October 1, 2022, all Visa Waiver Program (VWP) travelers intending to enter the United States by land will be required to obtain an approved Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) prior to application for admission at land border ports of entry.
CBP encourages travelers to apply for a travel authorization at least 72 hours in advance of their anticipated arrival at a U.S. land port of entry.
