Both meter gauge and broad gauge lines earlier passed through this station. There is a diamond railway crossing. The broad gauge started in 1982 from Bhatinda to Suratgarh via Hanumangarh and first train was flagged by Milkha Singh.

The meter gauge train has become history for Hanumangarh because in October 2012 Hanumangarh- Sadulpur meter gauge track closed and is being converted into broad gauge. Hanumangarh to Sri Ganganagar railway track has been converted into broad gauge and presently 3 trains are running on this track from Hanumangarh to Sriganganagar.[2]
