The erstwhile [[Metre Gauge]]{{Track gauge|1000mm}} railway line from Jaipur to Todaraisingh via Renwal-Phagi-Diggi-Malpura was functional. The line used to had regular train service from 1892 to 1992. In 1992 the [[Metre Gauge]]{{Track gauge|1000mm}} railway tracks was uprooted for gauge conversion to [[Broad Gauge]]{{Track gauge|1676mm}}.
