The Muar State Railway was a railroad operating in the district of Muar in Johor, Malaya (now Malaysia) ^3. It was the second railway line to operate in Malaya^4. The railway was built for the people of Muar and was a light railway^1. The Muar railway had a distance of about 14 miles and had five permanent stations and eight temporary stations^3. In its first years of operation, the Muar State Railway was estimated to own three steam locomotives^3. The first two locomotives were ordered from Black, Hawthorn & Co bearing works numbers 962 and 963, while the third Black, Hawthorn & Co locomotive bearing works number 1017 was ordered later on July 5, 1890^3. During World War I, new locomotives from the United States were procured^3. The railway opened in 1890 and ceased operation in 1929^3. Today, Muar has no railway^3. In 2017, construction workers uncovered pieces of wood believed to be part of the Muar State Railway line buried along the construction site^6.
