The Allegheny and Eastern Railroad (AAR reporting marks ALY) is a short line railroad owned by Genesee and Wyoming Industries (G&W).

Originally named the Allegheny Railroad, Genesee and Wyoming Industries purchased the company in the early 1990s and renamed it the Allegheny and Eastern Railroad. The ALY's headquarters were located in Warren, PA. Its main customer was International Paper in Erie, Pennsylvania. The railroad existed through the Conrail split and was merged into the Buffalo and Pittsburgh Railroad, another Genesee and Wyoming Industries railroad, in the early 2000s. All motive power that remained on ALY property by the time it was merged into BPRR was relettered "BPRR" on the cab below the numbers, and still remain in ALY paint.
