I just verified that my copy of Wireshark uncompresses the gzip 
compressed html at the Amtrak web site and shows it to me.  Is your copy 
of Wireshark compiled with zLib (libz)?  You can check by doing 
wireshark -v or going to the Help - About menu in Wiresdhark.  It should 
say "Compiled ... with libz x.y.z ..."
