The rail network in the state of Haryana in India, is covered by five rail divisions under three rail zones: North Western Railway zone (Bikaner railway division and Jaipur railway division), Northern Railway zone (Delhi railway division and Ambala railway division) and North Central Railway zone (Agra railway division).
The Diamond Quadrilateral High-speed rail network[1] Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor[2] and Western Dedicated Freight Corridor[3] pass through Haryana.
History
Haryana railway history
19th Century
On 3 March 1859, Allahabad-Kanpur, the first passenger railway line in North India was opened, which falls under Northern Railway zone.[4]
Train tracks passed through Haryana for the first time in 1864, when a broad gauge track from Kolkata to Delhi was laid.[5] In 1866, through trains started running on the East Indian Railway Company's Howrah-Delhi line.[6]
In 1870, the Scinde, Punjab & Delhi Railway completed the 483 km (300 mi) long Amritsar - Ambala - Jagadhri - Saharanpur - Ghaziabad line connecting Multan (now in Pakistan) with Delhi.[7]
Sarai Rohilla railway station was established in 1872 when the metre gauge railway line from Delhi to Jaipur and Ajmer was being laid. It was a small station just outside Delhi as Delhi was confined to walled city then. All the metre gauge trains starting from (and terminating at) Delhi to Rewari, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat passed through this station. The track from Delhi to Sarai Rohilla was double. The single track from Sarai Rohilla to Rewari was doubled up to Rewari, from where single tracks diverged in five directions. Metre gauge track from Delhi to Rewari and further to Ajmer was laid in 1873 by Rajputana State Railway.[5]
In 1884, the Rajputana-Malwa Railway extended the 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) wide metre gauge Delhi-Rewari section of Delhi–Fazilka line to Bathinda,[8][9]. When completed, this became the Delhi-Bathinda-Samasatta line, opened by The Southern Punjab Railway Co. in 1897.[10] The line passed through Muktasar and Fazilka tehsils and provided direct connection through Samma Satta (now in Pakistan) to Karachi.[11][12] The Bathinda-Rewari metre gauge line was converted to 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) wide 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge in 1994.[13]
The Delhi-Panipat-Ambala-Kalka line was opened in 1891.[14] The 610 mm (2 ft) wide narrow gauge Kalka-Shimla Railway was constructed by Delhi-Panipat-Ambala-Kalka Railway Company and opened for traffic in 1903.[15] In 1905 the line was regauged to 762 mm (2 ft 6 in) wide narrow gauge.
20th Century
In 1900, the Jodhpur–Bikaner line combined with Jodhpur-Hyderabad Railway. Part of this railway is in modern Pakistan, leading to connections with Hyderabad of Sindh Province. In 1901–02, the Jodhpur–Bikaner line was extended to Bathinda to connect it with the metre gauge section of the Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway and the meter gauge of North Western Railway Delhi–Fazilka line via Hanumangarh.[16][17] It was subsequently converted to broad gauge.[18]
Mahatma Gandhi was arrested in April 1919 from Palwal railway station on his way to Punjab to take part to the Non-Cooperation Movement meeting. A six-foot statue of Mahatma Gandhi was installed at Palwal station in October 2013.[19][20][21]
In 1926, New Delhi railway station opened, to serve the new imperial capital New Delhi. Prior to the city's foundation in 1911, the Old Delhi Railway Station served the entire city. The Agra-Delhi railway line cut through what is today called Lutyens' Delhi and the site earmarked for the hexagonal All-India War Memorial (now India Gate) and Kingsway (now Rajpath). The railway line was shifted along Yamuna river and opened in 1924 to make way for the new capital. Minto (now Shivaji) and Hardinge (now Tilak) rail bridges came up for this realigned line.
The East Indian Railway Company, which oversaw railways in the region, sanctioned the construction of a single story building and a single platform between Ajmeri Gate and Paharganj in 1926. This was later known as New Delhi Railway station. The government's plans to have the new station built inside the Central Park of Connaught Place was rejected by the Railways as it found the idea impractical.[22]
Work continued after the new station opened, and the New Delhi Capital Works project to construct 4.79 miles (7.71 km) of new lines was completed in 1927-8. The Viceroy and royal retinue entered the city through the new railway station during the inauguration of New Delhi in 1931. New structures were added to the railway station later and the original building served as the parcel office for many years.[23][24]
In 1951, on 5 November the Jodhpur–Bikaner line was merged with the Western Railway.[25] Sometime around or prior to 1991, the construction work for the conversion from metre gauge to 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) wide 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge of the Jodhpur–Bikaner line, along with the link to Phulera, were started,[26] and it was already functioning as broad gauge Jodhpur–Merta City–Bikaner–Bathinda line by 2008.[27]
On 14 April 1952, Northern Railway zone was notified as a new railway zone by merging Jodhpur Railway, Bikaner Railway, Eastern Punjab Railway and three divisions of the East Indian Railway north-west of Mughalsarai (Uttar Pradesh).
During 1976-77, the Ghaziabad-Nizamuddin-New Delhi-Delhi track was electrified.[28]
On 1 July 1987, Ambala railway division was created by transferring 639 km tracks from Delhi Division and 348 km from Firozpur Division, and it became completely operational from 15 August 1988. 62% of its tracks lie in Punjab, with the rest in Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chandigarh. The division has 141 stations, including UNESCO World Heritage Kalka Shimla Railway.[29]
Electrification work continued through the 1990s. Sabjimandi-Karnal sector was electrified during 1992-1995.[30] Ambala-Chandigarh sector was electrified during 1998-1999,[31] followed by Chandigarh-Kalka during 1999-2000.[31]
Prior to December 1994, the Delhi-Rewari railway line had double metre gauge tracks. During 1994, one of the tracks was converted to broad gauge as a part of the conversion of Ajmer-Delhi line.[32] Within a few years, both the tracks from Sarai Rohilla to Delhi railway station were converted to broad gauge and all metre gauge trains stopped operating from Delhi station.[33]
21st Century
The North Western Railway zone came into existence on 1 October 2002,[34] followed on 1 April 2003 by the North Central Railway zone.
By September 2006, the second metre gauge track from Sarai Rohilla to Rewari was also converted to broad gauge and all metre gauge trains stopped operating between Rewari and Sarai Rohilla (though the converted track was opened for public use only in October 2007).[33][35] Further broad gauge conversions followed - the Bikaner–Rewari line was converted between 2008 and 2011,[36] and the metre gauge Hisar-Sadulpur section was converted to broad gauge in 2009.[37][38]
In 2010-11 Rail Budget, a 104 km survey for the Panipat-Meerut line was announced. The project implementation was approved in 2017-18 budget with an outlay of INR948 crore.[39]
New lines were built and opened in 2013; the Chandigarh-Sahnewal line (also referred to as Ludhiana-Chandigarh rail link) was inaugurated.[40], the new broad gauge electrified Rewari-Rohtak line was constructed.[41], and the foundation stone for the shifting of Rohtak-Makrauli section of Rohtak- Gohana- Panipat line was laid.[42]
In 2016-17 Rail Budget, a re-survey for the Yamunanagar-Chandigarh line was announced at the cost of INR 25 crore; total expenditure on the project was INR875 crore.[39] The following year, 2017-18, Indian Railway approved Panipat-Jind line and Panipat-Rohtak line electrification for Rs 980 crore and new rail line Panipat-Shamli-Baghpat-Meerut for Rs 2200 crore.
By December 2017, railways for the first time installed 6095 GPS-enabled "Fog Pilot Assistance System" railway signalling devices in four most affected zones, Northern Railway zone, North Central Railway zone, North Eastern Railway zone and North Western Railway zone. This technology ended the old practice of putting firecrackers on train tracks to alert train divers to reduce their speed. With these new GPS devices, train pilots know in advance the precise location of signals, level-crossing gates and other such approaching markers.[43]
