Is there a place to find the actually running time between stops on Amtrak? I know the schedule has some padding in the some of the times.

Your best bet is probably from employee timetables for the various railroads over which AMTRAK operates

Since Amtrak changes their timetables more often than the Employee Timetables, many no longer show the Amtrak schedules at all.
If looking at a major city, normally there is quite a bit of padding after the last stop before it. You can get a good idea of how long the minimum run time between those points is by looking at the time taken in the scheduled for the train leaving the major city.
