[[Midleton railway station]] is on the [[Cork Suburban Rail]] network and is one of two termini (the other being Cobh) into and out of [[Cork Kent railway station]]. Passengers interchange at [[Cork Kent railway station|Cork Kent]] for trains to Dublin and Tralee.

The railway line to Midleton was opened on 10 November 1859 by the Cork & [[Youghal]] Railway, a company that was later taken over by the Great Southern & Western Railway. Midleton was the location of the railway works for this company.

The line between Midleton and Cork was closed for regular use between 1963 and 2009. Occasional use (mainly transport of beet from Midleton to the Mallow Sugar Factory) continued for many years after 1963, but even the sporadic usage of the line came to an end in 1988, with the final train to use the track being a passenger excursion for Midleton GAA supporters to Dublin for the final of the All Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship (in which Midleton played). The reopening of the line was completed by [[Iarnród Éireann]] on 30 July 2009.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.irishrail.ie/projects/glounthaune_midleton_railway.asp |title=Irish Rail – Projects – Glouthaune – Midleton<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=20 October 2007 |archive-date=6 June 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606125141/http://www.irishrail.ie/projects/glounthaune_midleton_railway.asp |url-status=live }}</ref>
