The Gwalior Light Railway was built by the then Maharaja Madho Rao Scindia of the Gwalior State. Construction began in 1895 for the Gwalior–Bhind section and in 1899 for the Gwalior–Shivpuri section. The Gwalior-Sheopur Kalan section was begun in 1904. The line was extended to Birpur in 1908 and further to Sheopur in 1909. After independence the GLR was merged with adjacent railway companies to form Northern Railways. The rail started with steam locomotives, but later diesel locomotives are used.
