Sometimes you can be lucky, but as you officially needs a permit to enter the train you might have to get a local chinese to buy the ticket.
Travelagencies can make prearrangements and sort out the permits. Contact Sims Cozy Guesthouse for help, www.gogosc.com, they are very reliable and experienced in dealing with Tibet travels.
