There is a daily train running from Tbilisi to Baku (overnight). The borders between AZ and Armenia are closed, those with Russia are closed for westerners.

My Thomas Cook timetable (a year old) shows the train as leaving Tbilisi on TU/FR/SU at 1855 and a faster train leaving Tbilisi on MO/TH/SA at 2050. Both arrive in Baku around 8 am. Howeverm I hear that the faster train was recently discontinued, so you'll have to double-check that locally.

I think the easiest way by train is from Russia. There are a lot of direct trains from Russia, to Baku Central Railway Station. You can come from Georgia as well, but I think it is easier from Russia.
