The station also linked with Wazirabad and Narowal stations, both of which are in Pakistan today. The old Jammu station was built in around 1897 but was abandoned after the Partition of India as the railway link to Sialkot was broken.

The Jammu station is also planned to be remodelled and redesigned under Station re-development plan expected to complete by 2024.
