The Athabasca Northern Railway (reporting mark ANY) was an historic railway in Alberta Canada.
The ANR operated a line running 325 kilometres (201.9 mi) between Boyle, Alberta and Fort McMurray, Alberta.
It was owned by Cando Contracting Limited[1] and connected with the Canadian National Railway in Boyle, its former owner.[2]
The line was set to be abandoned on December 17, 2007 because of deteriorating track conditions.[3] However, the line was re-acquired by Canadian National in December 2007.[4]
