There are several railway stations in the city, [[Tianjin railway station]] being one of them. It was built in 1888. The station was initially located at Wangdaozhuang ({{lang-zh|s=旺道庄|t=旺道莊|hp=Wàngdàozhuāng|links=no}}). The station was later moved to Laolongtou ({{lang-zh|s=老龙头|t=老龍頭|hp=Lǎolóngtóu|links=no}}) on the banks of the [[Hai He]] River in 1892; as a result, the station was renamed as Laolongtou Railway Station. The station was completely rebuilt in 1988. The rebuilding work began on April 15, 1987, and was finished on October 1, 1988. The Tianjin Railway Station is also locally known as the 'East Station', due to its geographic position. In January 2007, the station began another long-term restructuring project to modernize the facility as part of the larger Tianjin transport hub project, which involves [[Tianjin Metro]] lines 2, 3, and 9, as well as the Tianjin-Beijing High-Speed Rail.

[[Tianjin West railway station]] and [[Tianjin North railway station]] are also railway stations in Tianjin. [[Tanggu railway station]] is located in the port area of [[Tanggu District]]; [[Binhai railway station]] and [[Binhai North railway station]] are located to the north of Tanggu in [[Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area|TEDA]]. There are several other railway stations in the city that do not handle passenger traffic. Construction on a [[Beijing-Tianjin high-speed rail]]way began on July 4, 2005, and was completed during August 2008.

The inter-city trains between Beijing and Tianjin will adopt a new numbering system using the letter C (C stands for InterCity) followed by four numbers. The train numbers range between C2001 and C2298. The number ranges are divided into three different groups, which provide information about where a train will go:

* C2001–C2198: Directly from Beijing South Station to Tianjin
* C2201–C2268: From Beijing South Station to Tianjin, with stops at Wuqing Station (武清站)
* C2271–C2298: From Beijing South Station to Yujiapu Railway Station in Tianjin<ref>{{cite web |date=July 31, 2008 |title=New Beijing-Tianjin intercity train numbering system |url=http://www.shike.org.cn/news.asp?nId=3175 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720154522/http://www.shike.org.cn/news.asp?nId=3175 |archive-date=July 20, 2011 |access-date=March 15, 2011 |publisher=Shike.org.cn}}</ref>
