The Fremont and Elkhorn Valley Railroad (AAR reporting marks FEVR) is a 17-mile (27 km) heritage railroad in Dodge County, Nebraska. It is owned by the Nebraska Railroad Museum which offers an excursion service.
The FEVR line extends from Fremont to Hooper. It was originally built as part of the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railroad (FE&MV) in 1869. In 1903, the Chicago and North Western Railway (CNW) acquired the FE&MV and the line from Fremont to Hooper was abandoned by CNW in 1984, after which it was acquired by the museum.
The current motive power, as of 2007, is an EMD SW1200, built in 1962. The railroad also runs the Fremont Dinner Train.
