The Alabama Warrior Railway (ABWR) is a short line railroad sercing Walter Coke, Inc. coking plant in Warrior. The 15-mile railway absorbed the former Mary Lee Railroad. The project was completed in 2009 by Watco Transportation Services.

The railway makes connections from the plant to BNSF, Norfolk Southern and CSX Class I rail lines and also provides rail access to LaFarge, U. S. Pipe, Cemex, Harrison Gypsum and Performance Miners in Birmingham.
