The '''Jodhpur-Hyderabad Railway''' (JHR) was a metre gauge line that ran from [[Luni]] westwards to [[Hyderabad, Sind|Hyderabad]] in [[Sind Province]], connecting its parent, the [[Jodhpur-Bikaner Railway]], to the [[North Western Railway]].
== History ==
The section from [[Balotra]] to [[Hyderabad, Sind|Hyderabad]] was opened in 1900, with the full length, [[Jodhpur]] to [[Hyderabad, Sind|Hyderabad]] opening the following year (1901) when a small broad gauge section near [[Hyderabad, Sind|Hyderabad]] was converted to metre gauge.
The branch line extensions to [[Jalor]] and from [[Mipurkhas]] north to [[Khadro]] and south to [[Jhudo]] were opened by 1921.
In 1924, the JHR became part of the [[Jodhpur State Railway]] (JSR) when the [[Jodhpur-Bikaner Railway]] was split into the JSR and the [[Bikaner State Railway]].
