Re: Transporting by train
I believe Amtrak now allows firearms to be checked in much as you would for a plane. Be cautious of the route, and stops along the way.

Re: Transporting by train
Well whats to stop somebody from just boarding the train with a gun in their suitcase, or for that matter boarding with a loaded gun concealed on their person? From my experience, they don't search you or have you go through metal detectors or scan your bags when you get on a train.

Re: Transporting by train
You must be on a train that accepts checked baggage. No carry on baggage containing any type of firearm is allowed. This will somewhat limit your choices of trains. Remember, if for some reason your train is cancelled in NJ, you may be spending the night in a jail cell. Just remember some of the trains heading out west do so via NYC, which means you will have to deal with NYC and possibly NJ if something were to cancel your train ride. Going south shouldn't be a problem. Most of the trains going south of DC will have checked baggage.
Good Luck!

I wouldn't carry a gun on a train if its illegal, but that doesn't mean a criminal wouldn't.
