All metre-gauge trains between Delhi and Rewari, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat passed through Sarai Rohilla.

Metre-gauge track from Delhi to Rewari and Ajmer was laid in 1873 by the 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 its Delhi–Fazilka line to Bathinda.

[10] The line passed through the Muktasar and Fazilka tehsils and connected Samma Satta (in present-day Pakistan) directly to Karachi.

The Agra-Delhi railway line ran through Lutyens' Delhi, known for its India Gate war memorial and the Rajpath, but was moved to the Yamuna river and opened in 1924 to make way for the new capital.

Government plans to have the station built inside the Central Park of Connaught Place were rejected by the rail company as impractical.

The division has 141 stations, including the World Heritage Site Kalka Shimla Railway.

[41] The Rewari Railway Heritage Museum, built in 1893, is India's only surviving steam locomotive shed.

Haryana Space Applications Centre, Hisar (HARSAC) has produced the state's railway map, and its lines are included in the rail "pink book".

In December 2017, the National Capital Region Transport Corporation signed cooperation agreements with Administrador de Infraestructuras Ferroviarias (Spain's state-owned company) and Société nationale des chemins de fer français (France's state-owned company) to develop rapid-rail smart projects.

The Delhi-Meerut, Delhi-Panipat and Delhi-Alwar Smart Lines have been prioritized for inclusion in the first phase of NCR RRTS, and will operate from Sarai Kale Khan in Delhi.

[97] The Diamond Quadrilateral's Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi–Amritsar high-speed rail lines, via Sohna-Rewari-Narnaul, will pass through Haryana.

[98] The ministry's "Vision 2020" white paper envisages regional high-speed rail projects to provide service at 250–350 km/h, and plans for corridors connecting commercial, tourist, and pilgrimage hubs.

[99] Five Multimodal Transit Centres (MMTCs) are being built along the Western Peripheral Expressway (WPE) near railway stations, metro, RRTS and national highways: Issues include a lack of progress on announced projects, comprehensive long-term transport-needs analysis and planning, funding, connectivity, integration with multimodal transport, effective use of existing infrastructure (such as integrated logistics and industrial hubs), and land acquisition.
