===Rail service===
{{Main|Cape Cod Railroad}}
The third bridge over the Cape Cod Canal is a [[vertical-lift bridge|vertical-lift]] [[Cape Cod Canal Railroad Bridge|railroad bridge]], providing an alternative land transport option. After the bridge, the track splits in two directions, heading towards Hyannis in one direction and North Falmouth in the other. The track to Hyannis is used for both freight and passenger services, while the Falmouth track is used mostly for freight with very limited passenger service.

====Passenger====
The [[CapeFlyer]] is a seasonal passenger rail service between Boston and Hyannis that operates on summer weekends from [[Memorial Day]] through Labor Day. Stops along or near the Cape include [[Buzzards Bay station|Buzzards Bay]], [[Bourne station|Bourne]], and [[Hyannis Transportation Center|Hyannis]].

The [[Cape Cod Central Railroad]] is a [[heritage railroad]] on Cape Cod. The service is primarily tourist-oriented and includes a dinner train over a scenic route between Hyannis and the Cape Cod Canal lasting about 2{{frac|1|2}} hours round trip. Select trains feature stops at [[West Barnstable station|West Barnstable]] and [[Sandwich railway station|Sandwich]]. Additional service is also provided from the Buzzards Bay station, and a small number of trains also depart from North Falmouth.

====Freight====
Active freight service remains in the Upper Cape, both along the main line from Bourne to Hyannis and on the spur to North Falmouth. One of the more frequent operations is the transport of municipal waste to a waste-to-energy plant in [[Rochester, Massachusetts|Rochester]], as well as the removal of debris and refuse from [[Joint Base Cape Cod]] in Falmouth. [[Massachusetts Coastal Railroad]] is currently the sole operator of freight rail on the Cape, taking over from [[Bay Colony Railroad]] in 2007.

====Historic====
Daily passenger rail service by the [[New Haven Railroad]] from Boston to Cape Cod ended in June 1959. Summertime ''[[Day Cape Codder]]'' service by the New Haven from New York City to the Cape ended in 1964. In 1978, the tracks east of South Dennis were abandoned and replaced with the [[Cape Cod Rail Trail]]. Another bike path, the [[Shining Sea Bikeway]], was built over abandoned tracks between Woods Hole and Falmouth in 1975, and in 2008 the {{convert|7.4|mi|km|adj=mid|long}} rail line between Falmouth and North Falmouth was removed and the right-of-way converted into an extension of the Shining Sea Bikeway.

In 1986, [[Amtrak]] operated a seasonal service in the summer from New York City to Hyannis called the ''[[Cape Codder (train)|Cape Codder]]''. From 1988, Amtrak and the [[Massachusetts Department of Transportation]] increased service to a daily frequency,<ref>{{cite news|first=Michael |last=Kolleth |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=May 29, 1988 |title=Daily Rail Service to Cape is Returning |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1988/05/29/us/daily-rail-service-to-cape-is-returning.html?sq=%22cape+cod%22+railroad&scp=8&st=nyt }}</ref> until service ended in 1996, leaving a gap until the current [[CapeFlyer]] service began in 2013.
