Changzhou sits on one of eastern China's busiest rail corridors between Shanghai and Nanjing. The city has two main passenger stations: Changzhou Railway Station in the central area and Changzhou North Railway Station on the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. China Railway operates the main long-distance and regional services serving Changzhou.
Train services from Changzhou include G-series high-speed trains, D-series electric multiple unit services, C-series intercity trains on the Shanghai-Nanjing corridor, and selected conventional trains. Changzhou North handles most high-speed trains on the national north-south axis, while Changzhou Railway Station remains important for intercity and conventional rail services within Jiangsu and the Yangtze River Delta.
Rail routes from Changzhou run east toward Shanghai, Suzhou, and Wuxi, west toward Nanjing and Zhenjiang, north on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed axis toward Jinan, Tianjin, and Beijing, and south or southwest via transfers toward Hangzhou and Hefei.
