Bikaner Railway Station was constructed in 1891 with a Rs. 3,46,000 donation by Rai Bahadur Dewan Bahadur Sir Kasturchand Daga, a known trader from the city.

In 1889, the two states of Jodhpur and Bikaner formed the Jodhpur–Bikaner Railway to promote railway development jointly within the Rajputana Agency. In 1891 the {{RailGauge|1000mm}} wide metre gauge Jodhpur–Bikaner line was opened. In 1901–02, the metre gauge line was extended to Bathinda.[3][4]

Gauge conversions

The Jodhpur–Bikaner track, along with the link to Phulera, had been taken in/before 1991 for conversion to {{RailGauge|1676 mm|lk=on}} wide broad gauge.[5] According to a Press Information Bureau release issued in 2008, the Jodhpur–Merta City–Bikaner–Bathinda line was broad gauge.[6]

The Bikaner-Rewari line was converted to broad gauge during the period 2008-2011.[7]

Workshop

The Bikaner (Lalgarh) workshop was set up in 1926. It carries out periodic overhauling of metre gauge coaches and wagons.[8][9]
