History

edit

The Rajputana–Malwa Railway extended the 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+38 in)-wide metre gauge Delhi–Rewari line to Bathinda in 1884.[1][2] The metre-gauge Hisar–Sadulpur link was laid in 1911.[1] The Bhiwani–Rohtak link was laid in 1979.[3] and the Hisar–Jakkhal link was also laid on 1 November 1913.[4]

Gauge conversion and electrification

edit

The Bathinda–Rewari metre-gauge line was converted to 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in)-wide broad gauge in 1994. The metre-gauge Hisar–Sadulpur link was converted to broad gauge in 2009.[5] The Bhiwani–Rohtak link was also converted to broad gauge and the other link between Hisar–Jakkhal, too.

Loco shed

edit

The locomotive shed at Rewari has been restored. It now houses broad gauge locomotives.[6]
