The New York and Atlantic Railway (NY&A) (AAR reporting marks NYA) is a short line railroad formed in 1997 to provide freight service over the tracks of the Long Island Rail Road, a public commuter rail agency which had decided to privatize its freight operations. NY&A operates exclusively on Long Island, New York and is connected to the mainland via the Hell Gate Bridge and a railway ferry (the New York Cross Harbor Railroad) from Brooklyn to New Jersey.

The NY&A officially took over Long Island Rail Road's freight operations on May 11, 1997.
