Shenandoah Valley Railroad (reporting mark SV) is a privately-owned intrastate short-line railroad extending northward from Staunton, Virginia in Augusta County and Rockingham County. The line was originally built by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and later purchased in 1942 by the Chesapeake Western Railway.
The new short-line was formed late in the 20th century by several major shippers, and adopted the old historic name which was not in use. It is operated under contract. The Bay Coast Railroad was the contract operator between April 2003 and August 2006. As of September 1, 2006 the Durbin and Greenbrier Valley Railroad became the contract operator. The railroad interchanges with the Buckingham Branch Railroad in Staunton, along with Norfolk Southern in Pleasant Valley.
