Freudenstadt is the starting point of three railway lines.
In 1879 construction of the [[Eutingen im Gäu–Freudenstadt railway]] connected the city to the railway network. It runs from [[Stuttgart]] over [[Herrenberg]] and [[Eutingen im Gäu]] to Freudenstadt. Because continuation into the [[Kinzig (Rhine)|Kinzig]] valley was already planned (and as part of the [[Kinzig Valley Railway (Black Forest)|Kinzig Valley Railway]] was carried out in 1886), the main station was built southeast of the city, relatively far from the center. In 1901 the Württemberg part of the [[Murg Valley Railway]] to Klosterreichenbach was built. The 60-meter higher Stadtbahnhof north of the center is a [[standardized railway station (Württemberg)|Standardized railway station]].<ref name="stein">{{citation|surname1=Rainer Stein|periodical=Eisenbahn-Journal Württemberg-Report|title=Der württembergische Einheitsbahnhof auf Nebenbahnen |year=1996|volume=Band 1|issue=V/96|publisher=Merker|publication-place=Fürstenfeldbruck|pages=80–83|isbn=3-922404-96-0|language=de}}</ref> In 1928, a direct connection to [[Rastatt]] (Baden) was established
Eutingen and Stuttgart are connected with the Gäubahn. There is a rail service every hour with consolidations in school transport. Since 2006, coming from [[Karlsruhe]], S41 goes every two hours about Freudenstadt up to Eutingen where is connection to the Regional Express (RE) Stuttgart-[[Singen]].
