The Massena Terminal Railroad (reporting mark MSTR) is a Class III terminal railroad operating in the U.S. state of New York. It operates over 3 miles (4.8 km) of track[1] from the CSX Transportation yard in Massena north to the Alcoa plant, the railroad's only customer. It was built in the early 20th century, beginning operations in 1900.[1][2]

In 2005, the railroad was purchased by holding company RailAmerica.[1]

The railroad's traffic comes mainly from aluminum and petroleum products. The MSTR hauled around 4,300 carloads in 2008.[1]
