The recent heavy flooding in northern Thailand has damaged railway tracks, leading to the cancellation of direct services to Chiang Mai until June 8th

If you're planning to travel to Chiang Mai in the near future, best to double check your travel plans. The city itself is OK after the recent tragic floods in northern Thailand, but the rail network has suffered significant damage in several areas. A recent Bangkok Post story stated that all direct trains had been cancelled - "Passengers traveling to Chiang Mai must for now disembark at Uttaradit, then travel by bus the rest of the way via Den Chai and Lampang". So it looks like it won't cause too much disruption to visitors wanting to go to Chiang Mai.
