{{Railways in Calais}}
As well as the large port, the town is served by three railway stations: [[Calais-Fréthun station|Gare de Calais-Fréthun]], [[Gare de Calais-Ville]], and [[Gare des Fontinettes]], the former being the first stop on mainland Europe of the [[Eurostar]] line. [[Gare de Calais-Ville]] is the nearest station to the port with trains to [[Gare de Boulogne-Ville]] and either [[Gare de Lille Flandres]] or [[Gare de Lille Europe]].

Calais was also served by [[Gare de Calais Saint-Pierre|Saint-Pierre]] and [[Gare de Calais-Maritime|Calais-Maritime]]. Both now closed.

Saint-Pierre was two separate stations. A temporary station was opened by the [[Chemins de fer du Nord]] in 1846, and closed in 1849 when Calais-Ville opened. It subsequently became the site of a marshalling yard.{{sfn|Farebrother |Farebrother |2008 |pp=25, 49}} The second Saint-Pierre station was opened by the [[Chemin de fer d'Anvin à Calais]] (CF AC) on 1 October 1881.
