Jaipur State Railway

The Jaipur State Railway was constructed by the Jaipur Durbar.

It consisted of two branch lines -

• Jaipur-Sawai Madhopu Railway, opened in 1907
• Jaipur-Shaikhawati Railway, opened in 1916

Both branches were worked by Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway(BB&CIR) until 1936 when the Jaipur Durbar took the Jaipur State Railway under its own management.
