The Central Manitoba Railway (reporting mark CEMR) is a Canadian shortline railway operating in the province of Manitoba.

CEMR was created in 1999 by Cando Contracting Ltd to purchase the former CN Pine Falls and Carman subdivisions. They use several ex-CN GP9rm's (GR-418a, b or c) and 2 SD40 locomotives, and run trains twice weekly on the Pine Falls and Carman subdivisions (Pine Falls sub 67 miles (108 km), Carman sub 51 miles (82 km)). 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.

Livery: A black top and bottom broken by red and white stripes down the middle with the CEMR "bison" logo and a larger grey stripe and large white engine numbers on the sides..

The Central Manitoba Railway currently operates 16 locomotives.
