The Norfolk and Western Railway (reporting mark NW), commonly called the N&W, was a US class I railroad, formed by more than 200 railroad mergers between 1838 and 1982. It was headquartered in Roanoke, Virginia, for most of its existence. Its motto was "Precision Transportation"; it had a variety of nicknames, including "King Coal" and "British Railway of America". In 1986, N&W merged with Southern Railway to form today’s Norfolk Southern Railway.

rdfs:comment	Die Norfolk and Western Railway (NW, N&W) ist eine ehemalige Class-I-Bahngesellschaft in der Osthälfte der Vereinigten Staaten. Sie entstand 1870, als verschiedene Bahngesellschaften, darunter die 1836 gegründete , zur Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio Railroad fusionierten. Diese wurde 1881 in Norfolk and Western Railroad und 1896 schließlich in Norfolk and Western Railway umbenannt. Sie betrieb 1981 ein Streckennetz von 7800 Meilen (ca. 12550 km), das sich von Norfolk bis Buffalo, Chicago, Omaha und Kansas City erstreckte. Die Bahngesellschaft existiert nominell noch heute, wurde jedoch am 31. Dezember 1990 durch die Norfolk Southern Railway gepachtet und ist zu 100 % in Besitz dieser Bahngesellschaft. (de) ノーフォーク・アンド・ウェスタン鉄道（ノーフォーク・アンド・ウェスタンてつどう、N&W: 英語: Norfolk and Western Railway、報告記号はNW）は、200以上の鉄道会社を合併してできた、アメリカ合衆国で1838年から1982年まで存在していた1級鉄道会社である。その150年間の歴史を通じて大半の期間、本社はバージニア州ロアノークにあった。ノーフォーク・アンド・ウェスタン鉄道は、社内のロアノーク工場で蒸気機関車とホッパ車を製造していたことで知られる。1960年頃、アメリカの主要な鉄道会社の中で最後に蒸気機関車からディーゼル機関車へと移行した。 20世紀中ごろ、ノーフォーク・アンド・ウェスタン鉄道は長年のライバルであった、ポカホンタス炭田で運行するバージニアン鉄道と合併し、さらにニッケル・プレート鉄道やウォーバッシュ鉄道など隣接地域の他の鉄道会社と合併を繰り返して規模と収益性を拡大し、合衆国内14州とカナダの1州に範囲を広げて、大西洋からミシシッピ川、五大湖の間で7,000マイル（11,000km）以上に及ぶ路線網を形成した。ノーフォーク・アンド・ウェスタン鉄道は、同じく収益性の高い鉄道会社であったサザン鉄道と合併して、1982年にノーフォーク・サザン鉄道となった。 (ja) Le Norfolk and Western Railway (N&W) (sigle AAR: NW) était une compagnie de chemin de fer de classe I, issue de la fusion de plus de 200 chemins de fer, et qui exista de 1838 à 1982. Son quartier général était localisé à Roanoke, Virginie durant ses 150 ans d'existence. Le N&W était réputé pour ses ateliers de Roanoke Shops qui produisaient ses locomotives à vapeur et ses wagons-trémies (hopper cars) adaptés aux marchandises en vrac. Vers 1960, le N&W fut le dernier grand chemin de fer américain à se convertir à la traction diesel.
