The Johore Wooden Railway (JWR) was an early railroad in the Johore Sultanate Malaya (present day Peninsular Malaysia) which was intended to link New Johore (Johor Bahru) to an unspecified location 18 miles in the direction of Gunong Pulai. The line which began construction in 1869 and was partially operational as of 1875 utillised wooden tracks and preceded the first modern railway line operated by Perak Railway between Taiping and Port Weld by at least 10 years.
