This article is about the railroad operated between Butte and Garrison, Montana. For the railroad line between Conrad and Valier, Montana, see Montana Western Railway (1909).
The Montana Western Railway (MWRR) was an American railroad. In 1986 the MWRR leased and began operating trackage owned by the Burlington Northern Railroad between the towns of Butte and Garrison, Montana, a distance of 52 miles. In 2003 the line was returned to the BNSF Railway, corporate successor to the Burlington Northern, and it is now operated by BNSF.
