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 (1901-1902) 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.
