The Genthin – Milow railway was a railway line from Genthin in Saxony-Anhalt to Milow in Brandenburg.
The line was built at the instigation of Henning von Armin . On November 27, 1899, it was opened by Kleinbahn-AG in Genthin .
On January 1, 1947, the Genthiner Railway was transferred to the Sächsische Provinzbahnen GmbH and from there to the Deutsche Reichsbahn via the Association of Nationally Owned Enterprises (VVB) in 1949. On September 23, 1967, passenger traffic between Genthin and Milow ceased. The line disappeared except for a four-kilometer-long track when freight traffic was also ended on September 25, 1971. This track was operated as a siding until around 2010.
