TSA tried once. Amtrak, who has actual police with actual arrest powers, said next time they showed up and harassed Amtrak's passengers, they'd get thrown in jail. IIRC, Amtrak and TSA came to a face saving agreement that essentially made it clear that TSA has no say in Amtrak security. Unlike an airport that has many airlines, Amtrak stations only serve Amtrak so they have complete control. Not sure how things work at Canadian stations that Amtrak services but I'm betting it's not through a TSA type of situation.
