Alpiglen station, mentioned in a previous answer, is actually too close to the Eiger to afford a proper view! The actual best viewing spot is Kleine Scheidegg, the next station on the same line.

Restaurant Eigernordwand, a few minutes walk from the station, has beautiful panoramic views if you’d like to enjoy the scenery that inspired the Toblerone bar with a drink of your choice in your hand.
You can also view the North face of the Eiger from the inside. The Jungfraubahn takes you from Kleine Scheidegg to the Jungfraujoch via a stop in the Eigerwall complete with panoramic windows. Looks like you can connect with mainline services from Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen.

According to Google maps and sbb.ch, the most closer railroad station is Alpiglen:
. According sattelite map, you’ll get beautiful view from there.
Not sure where are you getting from to the Eiger, so you can search trains by youself.
If you have more specific information, please provide it.
Update:
According oebb.at, route and prices are (used local time just for example):

- 01.07.11 Grindelwald 07:17 – Alpiglen 07:38 – unknown by oebb.at, unfortunately, and by http://sbb.ch there is a bug with no founded station, but I think it is not very expensive
Also you can see this question to get some more sites to search prices and trains.
