Hanumangarh Junction railway station is a main railway station in Hanumangarh district, Rajasthan. Its code is HMH. It serves Hanumangarh city. The station consists of 4 platforms. The platform is not well sheltered. It lacks many facilities including water and sanitation.[1] Hanumangarh is a major railway station on Jodhpur-Bathinda line, Sadulpur, Rewari, Jaipur, Sriganganagar, Anupgarh.

Both meter gauge and broad gauge lines pass 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[when?] 3 trains are running on this track from Hanumangarh to Sriganganagar.[2]
