The railroad reached the city in 1855, when a branch of the [[Emperor Ferdinand Northern Railway]] was built. Currently, three railway lines cross the city:
* [[Bielsko-Biała–Kalwaria Zebrzydowska railway|Railway line 117]] to [[Kalwaria Zebrzydowska]] ([[Kraków]] direction)
* [[Katowice–Zwardoń railway|Railway line 139]] from [[Katowice]] to [[Zwardoń]]
* [[Bielsko-Biała–Cieszyn railway|Railway line 190]] to [[Cieszyn]] and [[Český Těšín]]

Regional train services to Katowice and Zwardoń are operated by [[Koleje Śląskie]], while [[Polregio]] trains run to Kalwaria Zebrzydowska and Kraków. In addition, Bielsko-Biała has connections with large Polish cities ([[Białystok]], [[Bydgoszcz]], [[Warsaw]], [[Wrocław]], [[Poznań]], [[Gdańsk]]) by [[PKP Intercity]] express trains. Services on the line 190 were suspended in 2009. In 2023, plans were announced to restore trains on this route.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Czyżewski |first1=Marcin |title=Na trasę z Bielska-Białej do Cieszyna wrócą pociągi.
