[[Amtrak]] has two stations in Delaware along the [[Northeast Corridor]]; the relatively quiet [[Newark Rail Station (Delaware)|Newark Rail Station]] in [[Newark, Delaware|Newark]], and the busier [[Wilmington station (Delaware)|Wilmington Station]] in [[Wilmington, Delaware|Wilmington]]. The Northeast Corridor is also served by [[SEPTA]]'s [[Wilmington/Newark Line]], part of [[SEPTA Regional Rail]], which serves [[Claymont station|Claymont]], Wilmington, [[Churchmans Crossing, Delaware|Churchmans Crossing]], and Newark.

Two [[Class I railroad]]s, [[Norfolk Southern]] and [[CSX]], provide freight rail service in northern New Castle County. Norfolk Southern provides freight service along the Northeast Corridor and to industrial areas in [[Edgemoor, Delaware|Edgemoor]], [[New Castle, Delaware|New Castle]], and [[Delaware City, Delaware|Delaware City]]. CSX's [[Philadelphia Subdivision]] passes through northern New Castle County parallel to the Amtrak Northeast Corridor. Multiple [[short-line railroad]]s provide freight service in Delaware. The [[Delmarva Central Railroad]] operates the most trackage of the short-line railroads, running from an interchange with Norfolk Southern in [[Porter, Delaware|Porter]] south through [[Dover, Delaware|Dover]], [[Harrington, Delaware|Harrington]], and [[Seaford, Delaware|Seaford]] to [[Delmar, Delaware|Delmar]], with another line running from Harrington to [[Frankford, Delaware|Frankford]] and branches from [[Ellendale, Delaware|Ellendale]] to [[Milton, Delaware|Milton]] and from [[Georgetown, Delaware|Georgetown]] to [[Gravel Hill, Delaware|Gravel Hill]]. The Delmarva Central Railroad connects with the [[Maryland and Delaware Railroad]], which serves local customers in Sussex County.<ref name=dcr>{{cite web|title=Delmarva Central Railroad|publisher=Carload Express|url=http://carloadexpress.com/railroads/delmarva-central-railroad/|access-date=March 27, 2017|date=November 8, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170524215403/http://carloadexpress.com/railroads/delmarva-central-railroad/|archive-date=May 24, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> CSX connects with the freight/[[heritage railroad|heritage]] operation, the [[Wilmington and Western Railroad]], based in Wilmington and the [[East Penn Railroad]], which operates a line from Wilmington to [[Coatesville, Pennsylvania]].

The last north–south passenger trains through the main part of Delaware was the [[Pennsylvania Railroad]]'s local Wilmington-Delmar train in 1965.<ref>Pennsylvania Railroad local division timetable, 1965</ref><ref>Freight only: {{cite journal |title=Pennsylvania Railroad, Table 155|journal=Official Guide of the Railways |publisher=National Railway Publication Company |volume=99 |issue=7 |date=December 1966}}</ref> This was a successor to the ''[[Del-Mar-Va Express]]'' and ''Cavalier'', which had run from Philadelphia through the state's interior, to the end of the Delmarva Peninsula until the mid-1950s.<ref>{{Citation |first = Christopher T |last = Baer |title = Named Trains of The PRR Including Through Services |year = 2009 |url = http://www.prrths.com/Hagley/PRR%20NAMED%20TRAINS.pdf |publisher = PRRTHS |access-date = July 25, 2013 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20131014024426/http://www.prrths.com/Hagley/PRR%20NAMED%20TRAINS.pdf |archive-date = October 14, 2013 |url-status = live }}</ref><ref>All named trains were gone by the end of 1957 {{cite journal |title=Pennsylvania Railroad, Table 65|journal=Official Guide of the Railways |publisher=National Railway Publication Company |volume=90 |issue=7 |date=December 1957}}</ref>

The [[DART First State]] public transportation system was named "Most Outstanding Public Transportation System" in 2003 by the [[American Public Transportation Association]]. Coverage of the system is broad within northern New Castle County with close association to major highways in Kent and Sussex counties. The system includes bus, subsidized passenger rail operated by Philadelphia transit agency SEPTA, and subsidized taxi and [[paratransit]] modes. The paratransit system, consisting of a statewide door-to-door bus service for the elderly and disabled, has been described by a Delaware state report as "the most generous paratransit system in the United States".<ref name=montgomery2012nj/> {{As of|2012}}, fees for the paratransit service have not changed since 1988.<ref name=montgomery2012nj/>
