Network Rail said they had inspected 1,500 miles of track and only three areas were left with signalling problems – Lanark, Largs and Girvan.
The track operator said Scotland’s railway was “back in business” by 10:00 on Thursday.
A second storm, Eunice, begins at 03:00 on Friday, with a yellow warning of snow for much of Scotland.
It follows closely behind Storm Dudley, which swept across the country on Wednesday and cleared in the early morning.
A yellow warning of wind has also been issued by the Met Office, affecting parts of Dumfries and Galloway, Argyll and Bute, and Ayrshire from 07:00 to 18:00 on Friday.
Road maintenance provider Bear Scotland said it had gritting trucks out in north east Scotland, where there has already been snowfall, and would be working round the clock to ensure routes remain safe.
Network Rail route director for Scotland, Liam Sumpter, said Storm Dudley had brought a “really tough evening and night” with many fallen trees on the tracks, and damage to overhead lines and signalling systems”.
“Storm Dudley hit us really hard,” he added.
A flood warning put in place by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency in Ayrshire was lifted, but alerts for the area and four other parts of the country remain in place.
