Services

Chiang Mai Railway Station

Services on the Northern Line are mainly intercity trains operated by State Railway of Thailand, connecting major cities. More than a dozen trains run on the line in each direction each day.

Infrastructure

The Northern Line is entirely single track, except at stations. Track gauge is 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) meter gauge. As train frequency increases, it is becoming increasingly challenging to operate trains running both direction on the single-line track.

The Northern Line is not electrified. Regular services run on diesel power. Current operating speed on the line is 100 km/h (62 mph). The section from Uttaradit to Chiang Mai is being rebuilt.
