"(b) cause a dangerous or offensive object or substance to be carried on a regular passenger service vehicle."
And here lies the problem. From a legal perspective a firearm is NOT dangerous goods.
In every state in this country and many others throughout the western world it has a very special meaning in law. It is a general term for chemicals that can have an immediate reaction causing a high risk to the safety of people in the vicinity.
Example, explosives, petrol, LPG gas, acids, radioactive materials etc. The chemical if released in to our environment can in large quantities, particularly in cities cause havoc or many casualties, including fatalities.
A knife or firearm if used incorrectly is a dangerous OBJECT there is a huge difference.
People need to be careful sometimes when choosing their words. Clearly there is a need for more education in this area.
In any case it would appear that in SA at least you can't transport Firearms on the trains. Or dangerous goods.
