History

The Hyderabad–Khokhrapar Branch Line was originally built as part of the Hyderabad–Jodhpur Railway in 1892.[1] The first section from Hyderabad to Shadipalli opened in 1892 and was originally constructed as a 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge railway line (this first section was also known as the Hyderabad–Umarkot Railway). In 1901, the first section was converted to 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+38 in) metre gauge where it joined the second section between Shadipalli and Luni and on wards to Jodhpur.[2][3] In February 2006, the entire Hyderabad–Khokhrapar line was re-converted again back to the original to 1676 mm broad gauge line.[citation needed]
