Yerevan has a single central railway station (several railway stations of suburbs have not been used since 1990) that is connected to the metro via the ''Sasuntsi Davit'' station. The railway station is made in Soviet-style architecture with its long point on the building roof, representing the symbols of communism: [[red star]], [[hammer and sickle]]. Due to the Turkish and Azerbaijani blockades of Armenia, there is only one international train that passes by once every two days, with neighboring Georgia being its destination. For a sum of 9&nbsp;000 to 18&nbsp;000 [[Armenian dram|dram]], it is possible to take the night train to the Georgian capital, Tbilisi.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.armeniandiaspora.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-81016.html |title=ArmenPress, "Yerevan - Batumi railway communication to resume in Summer", ArmeniaDiaspora.com |date=15 February 2007 |access-date=19 May 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080404095535/http://www.armeniandiaspora.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-81016.html |archive-date=4 April 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref> This train then continues to its destination of [[Batumi]], on the shores of the [[Black sea]] in the summer season.

The only railway that goes to Iran to the south passes by the closed border of [[Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic|Nakhchivan]]. For this reason, there are no trains that go south from Yerevan.

During the first decade of the 21st century, the South Caucasus Railway CJSC — which is the current operator of the railway system in Armenia—announced its readiness to put the Yerevan-Gyumri-Kars railway line in service in case the Armenian-Turkish protocols are ratified and the opening of the borders between the two countries is achieved.

As of July 2017, the following railway trips are scheduled from and to Yerevan:
* Yerevan-Tbilisi-Batumi-Yerevan, with a daily trip operating since 15 June 2017, in coordination with the [[Georgian Railways]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ukzhd.am/batumi2014/arm/schedule.html |title=Yerevan-Tbilisi-Batumi-Yerevan railway trip |access-date=19 July 2017 |archive-date=21 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180621011934/http://www.ukzhd.am/batumi2014/arm/schedule.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
