In 1873, Rewari railway station was built on {{convert|82.3|km|mi}} long first commercial {{track gauge|1000mm}} [[metre-gauge]] track in India from {{stnlnk|Delhi Junction||Delhi}} to Rewari by [[Rajputana–Malwa Railway|Rajputana State Railway]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nwr.indianrailways.gov.in/cris//uploads/files/1305704932727-general.html |title= MG |publisher=Nwr.indianrailways.gov.in |date=1997-05-03 |access-date=2013-10-06}}</ref><ref name=irfca.orghistory>{{cite web|title=Chronology of railways in India, Part 2 (1870–1899)|url=http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-history2.html|publisher=IRFCA.org|access-date=24 October 2014}}</ref> A {{convert|41.4|km|mi}} 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]], {{convert|13.8|km|mi}} to its west.

In 1874, 1875 and 1881, the railway line was extended {{convert|135.8|km|mi}} from Rewari to [[Alwar]]-[[Bandikui]], further {{convert|225.2|km|mi}} to [[Jaipur]]-[[Ajmer]], and eventually another {{convert|492|km|mi}} to [[Ahmedabad]] in [[Gujarat]] respectively by [[Rajputana–Malwa Railway]].

In 1884, Rewari became a railway junction when, a {{convert|300.65|km|mi}}-long metre-gauge railway line to [[Bhatinda]] was completed by [[Rajputana–Malwa Railway]]<ref name=hisar>{{cite web| url= http://revenueharyana.gov.in/html/gazeteers/gazetteer_india_hisar.pdf| title= Gazetteer of India, Haryana, Hisar| work= Communications, page 135| publisher= Haryana Government| access-date= 10 May 2014| url-status= dead| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20140501213030/http://revenueharyana.gov.in/html/gazeteers/gazetteer_india_hisar.pdf| archive-date= 1 May 2014| df= dmy-all}}</ref>

In 1986, {{convert|379|km|mi}} long line to [[Bikaner]] via [[Kanina khas|Kanina]], [[Loharu]], [[Sadulpur]], [[Churu, Rajasthan|Churu]] & [[Ratangarh, Churu|Ratangarh]] was laid.<ref>{{cite web| url =http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php/Rajputana-Malwa_State_Railway |title = Rajputana Malwa State Railway| publisher= fibis| access-date = 10 May 2014}}</ref>).

In 1905, {{convert|216|km|mi}} long line to Phulera via [[Narnaul]], [[Neem-Ka-Thana]] and [[Ringas]] was laid. Eventually five metre-gauge tracks branched out from Rewari. All [[metre-gauge]] trains starting from (and terminating at) [[Delhi Junction Railway station|Delhi railway junction]] (station code DLI) to [[Punjab region|Punjab]], [[Rajputana]], [[Saurashtra (region)|Saurashtra]], [[Kutch]] and north Gujarat regions passed through Rewari station. The management of Rajputana–Malwa Railways (and Rewari railway station) was transferred to [[Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway]] (BBCI) in 1889. BBCI became [[Western Railway zone|Western Railway]] in 1951.

In 1952, Delhi–Rewari–Bikaner railway line were transferred to Bikaner Division of newly formed [[Northern Railway zone]] in 1952 while Rewari–Jaipur and Rewari–Ringas–Phulera sections remained in Western Railway.

In 1992, Delhi–Rewari railway line had double {{track gauge|1000mm}} [[metre gauge]] and one of the tracks was converted to {{Track gauge|5ft6in|lk=on}} [[broad gauge]] as a part of conversion of Ajmer–Delhi line.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-history5.html|title=IRFCA] Indian Railways FAQ: IR History: Part 5 Ajmer–Delhi MG railway line converted to BG|access-date=4 October 2014}}</ref>

In 1994, Rewari–Jaipur–Ajmer track was converted to broad gauge. In May 1997, broad-gauge trains started running from Ahmedabad to Delhi via Rewari. Within a few years, both the tracks from {{stnlnk|Sarai Rohilla}} to Delhi railway junction were converted to broad gauge and all metre-gauge trains stopped operating from Delhi Junction. As a result of this, all metre-gauge trains to Rewari and beyond terminated at and started from Sarai Rohilla which became a railway terminus.<ref name=yr1/>

By September 2004, 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 "officially" dedicated to the nation by politicians only in October 2006).<ref name=yr1>{{cite web|url=http://pib.nic.in/newsite/erelease.aspx?relid=31676|title=Press Information Bureau English Releases|access-date=4 October 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.hindu.com/2007/10/08/stories/2007100854500400.htm | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071013182649/http://hindu.com/2007/10/08/stories/2007100854500400.htm | url-status=dead | archive-date=13 October 2007 | work=[[The Hindu]] | title=Delhi–Haryana rail link gets better | date=8 October 2007}}</ref>

In 2008, {{convert|361|km|mi}} long Rewari–Ajmer railway line via Bandikui and Jaipur was double tracked.
In 2021, Rewari-Ajmer-[[Palanpur]]-Ahmedabad, Rewari-[[Hisar (city)|Hisar]], and Rewari-Ludhiana lines were doubled.

In 2017, [[Alwar]]-Rewari–[[Hisar (city)|Hisar]] and Rewari–[[Narnaul]]–[[Ringas]]–[[Phulera]] railway tracks were electrified.<ref name="indianrailways.gov.in"/>

In 2025-26, Rewari station underwent ₹12 crore upgrade with improved station building facade, new lifts and escalators, renovated waiting rooms and toilets, new coach guidance system, separate arrival and departure gates, enhanced parking, and an attractive boundary wall.<ref>Jha, B.

==Facilities==

Rewari railway station has all major facilities like high-level platforms, waiting rooms, restaurants, computerised ticket reservation, bookshop and retiring rooms for sleeping. On conversion of metre-gauge tracks to broad gauge, the station yard was remodelled and the tracks and platforms were rearranged to provide 8 platforms in 2009–10; low-level metre-gauge platforms were raised higher. Some heritage buildings that were more than 100 years old were demolished to lay new railway lines and build high-level platforms.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2009/20090113/harplus1.htm |title=Haryana Plus |work=Tribune India |date=2009-12-31 |access-date=2013-10-06}}</ref> New buildings have been constructed.
