The Carbon Cut-Off Railway was a railroad line in the U.S. state of Wyoming. In 1889 the Union Pacific Railroad invested $221,000 (equivalent to about $ today) to construct a rail line from Allen station on the main line (near Medicine Bow) to their coal mines near Hanna. In 1892 the railroad operated of track between Allen and Hanna and an additional of track to the Hanna mine.
Later the UP abandoned its original main line between Allen and Dana, and now the Carbon Cut-Off Railway, along with a connection from Hanna to Dana, is part of the UP's Laramie Subdivision.
