Not probably allowed. Definitely not allowed.
Check this out from Amtrak’s website:
Amtrak, along with the Amtrak Police Department, has a range of behind-the-scenes and front-line security measures in place to ensure passenger rail security.
Among these security measures, some of which are conducted on an unpredictable or random basis, passengers may notice any of the following in stations or onboard trains:
Uniformed police officers and Special Operations Units
Random passenger and carry-on baggage screening and inspection*
K-9 units
Checked baggage screening
Onboard security checks
Identification checks
*With due respect to passengers’ privacy, the random screening and inspection of passengers and their personal items will be completed as quickly as possible - usually in less than a minute. Passengers failing to consent to security procedures will be denied access to trains and refused carriage, and a refund will be offered.
