Rewari Junction railway station, station code RE, is a major railway station of the Indian Railways serving the city of Rewari in the Indian state of Haryana. It is in the Jaipur Division of the North Western Railway zone and lies on the Delhi-Ajmer-Ahmedabad route. Six railway lines branch out from this railway station. The seventh railway line from Rewari will be laid as a dedicated freight railway line as a part of the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor.).
Rewari railway junction station is located 82 km southwest of old Delhi and 65 km southwest of the nearest large airport at Palam, New Delhi.
Rewari railway station was established in 1873 after the 82 km long first commercial 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) metre gauge railway track in India was laid from Delhi railway station to Rewari by Rajputana State Railway in 1872. A 41 km long segment of the railway line had been laid a year earlier from Delhi to Garhi Harsaru that catered to existing flourishing salt production works (from underground brine) at Farrukhnagar, 12 km to its west. The railway line was extended from Rewari to Alwar and Bandikui in 1874 and then to Jaipur and Ajmer in 1875 by Rajputana-Malwa Railway and eventually to Palanpur in Gujarat in 1881 from where a metre gauge track had already been built to Ahmedabad in 1879. Rewari became a railway junction when more metre gauge railway lines were laid from Rewari in other directions.
