Central Manitoba Railway

The Central Manitoba Railway is a Canadian shortline railway operating in the province of Manitoba.

The Central Manitoba Railway (CEMR) was created in 1999 by Cando Rail & Terminals to purchase the former CN Pine Falls () and Carman subdivisions (). They run five days a week (weekdays) in the Norcran Industrial Area in North Transcona. They purchased a former CPR yard that was built in 1887–9 and built a new shop-house and diesel repair facility. They also repair cars for other railways.

They run on 115 & 132 pound per yard (50 kg/m) rail on the Carman sub, and 85 pound per yard (42 kg/m) light rail on the Pine Falls sub, one of the few light rail branches existing in Manitoba.

CEMR is a Unionized workforce represented by the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC)
