The Algiers, Winslow and Western Railway sometimes referred to as Algers[N 1], Winslow and Western Railway (reporting mark AWW) was a Class III short-line railroad that served the surface mining operations in Pike County, Indiana.

Ownership of the remaining 50% passed among various coal interests over the next 30 years, finally falling to Horizon Natural Resources.

In October 2004, Horizon went through bankruptcy and sold its interest in the railroad (along with two mines along the AWW) to Lexington Coal Company; Lexington sold it to Indiana Land and Mineral Company in September 2005, who in turn transferred it to American Metals and Coal International (AMCI) in January 2006.

Norfolk Southern won approval from the Surface Transportation Board to acquire AMCI's share in AWW in March 2007, completing its takeover of the railroad.

Railroad workers have been laid off and are called in only as needed, but plans to reopen two of the local mines may increase traffic on the line.
