Railroad development in Garfield County began four years prior to the land opening, and Enid became a central hub within the county, with rail systems running in ten directions.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://digital.library.okstate.edu/encyclopedia/entries/G/GA012.html |title=Garfield County |publisher=Digital.library.okstate.edu |date=1931-01-29 |access-date=2011-03-24 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604152131/http://digital.library.okstate.edu/encyclopedia/entries/G/GA012.html |archive-date=2011-06-04 }}</ref> Historical railroads included [[Enid and Tonkawa Railway]], [[Enid and Anadarko Railway]], [[Blackwell, Enid and Southwestern Railway]], [[Enid Central Railway]] and the [[Denver, Enid and Gulf Railroad]]. Enid's railroad history is displayed at the [[Railroad Museum of Oklahoma]] which is housed in the former Santa Fe railroad Depot. The Rock Island Depot is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Active railroad operations in Enid are [[Farmrail Corporation|Farmrail (FMRC) / Grainbelt Corporation (GNBC)]], [[BNSF Railway]], and [[Union Pacific Railroad]] (UP). In the past Atchison, Topeka & Santa (ATSF), Burlington Northern (BN), Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific (CRIP), Missouri-Kansas-Texas (MKT), North Central Oklahoma and Saint Louis San Francisco "Frisco" (SLSF) connected Enid to the rest of Oklahoma by rail.  Currently, BNSF has given Site Certification to the Easterly Industrial Park three miles east of the City, meaning the railroad has identified the location as an optimal rail-served site meeting ten economic development criteria, intended to minimize development risks customers may face.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.bnsf.com/ship-with-bnsf/rail-development/certified-sites.page |title=Certified Sites|publisher=BNSF Railway|accessdate=September 23, 2021}}</ref>

From 1907 to 1929, Enid also had its own streetcar system, operated by [[Enid City Railway]]. The street cars were later replaced by buses, following a declaration by the Enid government that made streetcars illegal.<ref>Edson, Bill, Enid Morning News Vol. 87 No. 59 "Street cars in Enid 1907–1929" reprinted in ''Garfield County Oklahoma 1907–1982,'' Vol 2., pp. 824–825
