Historically, Northfield was served by four railroads: the [[Chicago Great Western Railway]], [[Milwaukee Road]], the [[Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad|Rock Island]], and the [[Minneapolis, Northfield and Southern Railway]]. Today, the freight-only [[Albert Lea Subdivision]] of the [[Union Pacific Railroad]] runs north–south through Northfield. [[Progressive Rail]], a short-line railroad, operates several branch lines radiating from Northfield. Resumption of passenger service over the [[Dan Patch Corridor]] has been studied.
