Even if Amazon officially remains mum, News Outlets are reporting "the deed is done" - Long Island and Crystal Cities will be HQ2 (addendum: now confirmed).
While the most convenient way between the two "halves" will be the DCA-LGA "Shuttles", Amazon clearly let it be known that mass transportation was to be a factor in their selection process (I think that when Nashville scuttled a mass transit initiative which included rail, there went any hopes they had of a score addendum: there will be a logistics facility), such includes a ready means to "shuttle" between the facilities.
No question whatever, the potential for Amtrak is there, but "will they be up to it?"
The longer projects such as Gateway and A-I replacements remain in limbo, the question remains on the table.
