Check your lcoal laws- every state is different, and some allow a wide range of stuff, others are draconian about a pen knife- I personally believe something is better than nothing, but do be aware of the limitations of what you choose to utilize- nothing in the world is worth a damn unless you learn to use it, practice with it and have it handy in the event you need it- having been close to quite a few law enforcement professionals, and sold quite a few non-gun weapons, I feel that a good brand of pepper spray or mace is often a good bet, and will effectively incapacitate a good number of people- and piss them off at the same time- do not attempt to punch out someone whom you just maced- it will get you hurt- the idea is to mace and run, because they will have a lot of anger induced strength and I have personally seen what happens when you stick around thinking you can pummel your agressor now that they are "helpless" - be wary of the baton, for legal reasons, a lot of place its a deadly weapon, and then you go to jail and / or get sued- in closing, remember that nothing is going to beat a gun, other than perhaps your feet (tazers , the good kind, that run at least 400 + dollars, do work, but are becoming increasingly difficult to carry as various states make them illegal to carry....) as to amtrak, assume that you cannot carry em, but if in doubt call the station and ask.......
