The Chemin de fer de la Riviere Romaine, reporting mark CFRR, is a Canadian short line iron ore mining railway founded in 1949 and headquartered in Havre-Saint-Pierre, Quebec, owned and operated by QIT-Fer et Titane, a subsidiary of the Rio Tinto Group. Its 43-kilometer standard-gauge line runs from the port of Havre-Saint-Pierre inland to an ilmenite deposit at Lac Allard, from which the mineral is shipped upriver to Sorel-Tracy; because the mine is not accessible by road, the railway also carries passenger trains for workers alongside its freight operations.
