Haebaru Railway Company Co. Ltd, (南風原鉄道株式会社, Haebaru tetsudō kabushikigaisha), referred to as Nantetsu (南鉄道), is the oldest private railway in the entire continent, operating trains in the Haebaru District and the greater Iwate Prefecture. Recently, they have been beginning to make inroads into Lamtsu and Yokohama.

Some of the more famous trains operated by Nantetsu included the Haebaru, which was one of two rail connections between Lamtsu and Joban (the other being the Ome Line), which had the fastest speed for any non-shinkansen railway in Lamtsu at 160km/h, until the opening of the Seiyo Shinkansen. After which, the Haebaru services were withdrawn, as the aging trains were putting stress on the railway's network.

In the Haebaru Region, it is the largest company, not just in transport but in other industries, such as Real Estate, and Retail, and has been credited with the continual growth of the Haebaru region, especially Ojika town, since the 1940s.

Nantetsu is the largest railway company in Iwate Prefecture, and is the largest of the 12 Major Private Railways in Lamtsu by network size and profit.
