Have you tried the ingame tutorials ?
Have you tried the train section in the game strategy guide ?
http://guide.factorio.com/10-trains.html
Have you given a try to the wiki tutorial ?
https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Rail ... l/Tutorial
Have you tried to give a look at one on the numerous help posts in this Forum ?
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=5316
Have you tried a search on Youtube ?
Amongst the huge amount of tutorials, I personnally prefer this one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZiL7_vfJtQ

If you have already done all that and still have problems, a screenshot and some explanations on what your problem is would help.

Firstly it's not easy to create a rail network if you don't understand this :

Signal : Create a pattern

Chain signal : listen the next signal

Watch :

First you have a chain signal he watch if the top one is green and the orhter too. If one is red there is a train in this part. The chain signal become blue that will say one of the way could be take

Make 2 way trains :D .
