Somebody dropped these off at our model railroad club. They are from 1986. One is apparently a booklet describing (and showing sketches and pictures of) the Amtrak cars of the day. They have the name of the Amtrak ticket reseller and pre-websites, they showed people what the various coaches and rooms looked like along with the diners and lounges. The second picture is a card-stock Amtrak map. The separate picture is the actual front cover of the booklet.

The booklet includes Amfleet, Heritage, Metroliner and Superliner Cars.

If anyone is familiar with them, I'd be interested in any more info on their history.

Looks like they are just as you described them...material's given to travel agent's by the regional Amtrak Sales Rep, as part of his/her job to teach them how to sell Amtrak transportation... I may even have one of those in my "archives"....
