Checking a gun in with Amtrak, who has done it?

[TurboS600]

I did it with the Zephyr. Its very low key. You make the reservation for the pistol as you have already done and bring it with you. When you go to the counter you mention the reservation. In my experience, they had me go through the door to their side of the counter and had me open my luggage showing the locked case. They stuck a piece of paper I signed in the luggage on top of the case and I rezipped. They added a second tag to the luggage and took it away and gave me a 2 baggage receipts for the luggage and the firearm. On the other end, you show your tags and they give you your luggage.

I don't believe my recommendation was nonsense (post #2). We have a Calgunner here that is intimately involved with the inner workings of Amtrak and I provided that name. IMO it would still be worth contacting him to make sure there isn't any other valuable information that the OP might miss.

Where's the fun in direct answers? Our way we get bits here and there, and then assemble like a jigsaw puzzle.
