The Southwestern Railroad (reporting mark SW) is an American Class III railroad operating since 1990, and until 2017 consisted of two unconnected railroad sections in New Mexico, with no shared functions. These and a third section in the Texas panhandle and Oklahoma, now closed, all operated separately. Since January 2017, only the Whitewater Division is operated by Southwestern.
Southwestern is one of several short-line railroads which were operated by The Western Group of Ogden, Utah. On November 1, 2020, Southwestern was sold by Western to Jaguar Transport Holdings of Joplin, Missouri.
