In a Washington Post article dated late today, on December 15 Amtrak will begin allowing passengers to check unloaded firearms. Unfortunately it will not be quite as easy as flying with firearms but a step in the right direction. They will require a 24 hour notice.
They will be retrofitting lockers on some rail cars but those with smaller firearms like handguns will be able to transport them in hardsided cases in luggage similar to the airlines.
Check the following link to the Washington Post for more details.
