The '''Jodhpur-Bikaner Railway''' (JBR) was a metre gauge system, jointly owned and operated by the Jodhpur and Bikhaner States until 1924 when the system was split between the newly-formed [[Jodhpur State Railway|Jodhpur]] and [[Bikhaner State Railway|Bikhaner State Railways]].
== History ==
The JBR had its beginnings in a section of metre gauge railway built for the [[Rajputana-Malwa Railway]] between [[Marwar]] and [[Luni]]. Later this section was extended to [[Jodhpur]] and formed the first Jodhpur Railway.
In 1889, the two States of Jodhpur and Bikhaner formed the JBR to promote railway development jointly within the Rajasthan Agency.
In 1891, rapid progress was made in constructing the railway from [[Jodhpur]] to [[Bikaner]], later extended to [[Bhatinda]] where the JBR connected with the metre gauge section of the [[Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway]], and the broad gauge [[North Western Railway|North Western]] and the [[Southern Punjab Railway|Southern Punjab Railways]].
In 1924, the JBR was split into its two constituent parts, with two new systems, the [[Jodhpur State Railway|Jodhpur]] and [[Bikhaner State Railway|Bikhaner State Railways]], formed to work the lines.
