The Southern Punjab Railway Co. opened the Delhi–Bhatinda–Samasatta line in 1897. The line passed through Muktasar and Fazilka tehsils and provided a direct connection through Samma Satta (now in Pakistan) to Karachi. The extension from the Macleodganj (later renamed Mandi Sadiqganj and now in Pakistan) railway line to Ludhiana was opened by the same company in 1905.
Minchinabad Railway Station is situated near the Indo-Pak borderline. Mandi Sadiq Ganj, Sobhaywala, and Amruka railway stations are the next and last stations on its eastern side. On the western side of it, there stand Chabhiana, Chaweka, Mitti Roya, and Bahawalnagar railway stations. Now no train runs over the deserted track.
