What happens if you get off at the wrong stop on Amtrak?

Amtrak personnel often remind people when their stop is coming up, but it is up to the passenger not to get off at the wrong station. If you decide to get off at an Amtrak stop different from your destination to stretch your legs or something, it is up to you to get back on, or you will be left behind.
