Well, no you cannot. You can place firearms and ammo in checked baggage a la’ air travel, but no, you cannot travel “with” your arms....

“The train must carry checked baggage. The passenger must travel on the same train. At least 24 hours in advance, the passenger must notify Amtrak of intent to transport firearms or ammunition by calling (800) USA-RAIL.

Firearms must be unloaded and in an approved, locked, hard-sided container, and the total weight cannot exceed 50 pounds. The weaponry must be checked in at the station at least a half-hour before scheduled departure. Ammunition and its secure containers must not weigh more than 11 pounds.

BB guns, air guns and paintball markers are also subject to the rules, and only the passenger may have the key or know the combination to gun-carrying containers.”
