History

In 1873, Rewari railway station was built on long first commercial metre-gauge track in India from to Rewari by Rajputana State Railway. A long segment of the railway line had been laid a year earlier from Delhi to Garhi Harsaru that catered to existing flourishing salt production works at Farrukhnagar, to its west.
In 1874, 1875 and 1881, the railway line was extended from Rewari to Alwar-Bandikui, further to Jaipur-Ajmer, and eventually another to Ahmedabad in Gujarat respectively by Rajputana–Malwa Railway.
In 1884, Rewari became a railway junction when, a -long metre-gauge railway line to Bhatinda was completed by Rajputana–Malwa Railway
In 1986, long line to Bikaner via Kanina, Loharu, Sadulpur, Churu & Ratangarh was laid.).
In 1905, long line to Phulera via Narnaul, Neem-Ka-Thana and Ringas was laid. Eventually five metre-gauge tracks branched out from Rewari. All metre-gauge trains starting from Delhi railway junction to Punjab, Rajputana, Saurashtra, Kutch and north Gujarat regions passed through Rewari station. The management of Rajputana–Malwa Railways was transferred to Bombay, Baroda and [Central India Railway] in 1889. BBCI became Western Railway in 1951.
In 1952, Delhi–Rewari–Bikaner railway line were transferred to Bikaner Division of newly formed Northern Railway zone in 1952 while Rewari–Jaipur and Rewari–Ringas–Phulera sections remained in Western Railway.
In 1992, Delhi–Rewari railway line had double metre gauge and one of the tracks was converted to broad gauge as a part of conversion of Ajmer–Delhi line.
In 1993, Rewari–Bhatinda track was converted to broad gauge.
In 1994, Rewari–Jaipur–Ajmer track was converted to broad gauge. In May 1997, broad-gauge trains started running from Ahmedabad to Delhi via Rewari. Within a few years, both the tracks from to Delhi railway junction were converted to broad gauge and all metre-gauge trains stopped operating from Delhi Junction. As a result of this, all metre-gauge trains to Rewari and beyond terminated at and started from Sarai Rohilla which became a railway terminus.
By September 2004, the second metre-gauge track from Sarai Rohilla to Rewari was also converted to broad gauge and all metre-gauge trains stopped operating between Rewari and Sarai Rohilla.
By 2009, all metre-gauge railway tracks from Rewari were converted to broad gauge.
Until 2010, Rewari was the world's oldest and largest commercial metre-gauge railway junction.

In 2017, Alwar-Rewari–Hisar and Rewari–Narnaul–Ringas–Phulera railway tracks were electrified.
In 2020, Rewari–Ajmer railway track was electrified. Later, Rewari–Ringas–Ajmer–Palanpur long track and Rewari–Ringas–Ajmer–Palanpur–Mehsana railway track were also electrified.
In 2004–06, facilities were upgraded via Rewari for running double-stack goods trains from Rewari to Bombay, Kandla and other ports in western India from Delhi and northern states/union territories of Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir. Some private logistics operators have built container storage yards north of Rewari near Garhi Harsaru for this purpose.
