No, it does not mean that. The US does not have federally-issued ID. It
only means that you need some form of official photo ID (usually a
state-issued driver's license, in the case of US residents) when picking
up your ticket prior to boarding the train. Probably a British driver's
license would work, but of course a British passport would also do the job.
And, contrary to the other poster's remarks, Amtrak is not in the habit of
demanding ID from its en route passengers.
