The most dramatic changes in the economic life of Dinaburg (Daugavpils) were brought about by the opening of the Petersburg–Dinaburg–Warsaw and Riga–Dinaburg–Oryol railway lines in 1860 and 1861. The Petersburg–Warsaw railway line, along with its bridges, viaducts, and several station buildings, was designed by Stanislav Kerbedz, an engineer of Polish origin.
Today, Daugavpils is an important railway hub, served by five railway lines. The current railway station building was constructed in 1951.
Daugavpils Railway Station is located in the city centre, next to Rīgas Street — the main pedestrian promenade. From the station, diesel trains operate on the routes Rīga–Daugavpils, Rīga–Daugavpils–Krāslava, Rīga–Daugavpils–Indra, and once a year, during the Aglona Feast of the Assumption, a special train runs through Daugavpils to Aglona.
