== History ==
The JBR had its beginnings in a section of metre gauge([[Rail_gauge_#Metre_Gauge|MG]]) railway built for the [[Rajputana-Malwa Railway]] between [[Marwar]] and [[Luni]]. Later this section was extended to [[Jodhpur]] and formed the first '''[[Jodhpur State Railway|Jodhpur Railway]]'''.
[[Walter Home]] was, in April 1882, deployed from the [[Public Works Department]] Railways Branch, appointed as Manager for the construction of the Jodhpur Railway and also in-charge of the Marwar State Public Works Department . He built the Jodhpur Railway from scratch over the ensuing 25 years.
