Ganganagar, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Barmer are districts of Rajasthan which are having border with Pakistan.

I think the town which you are looking for is Samdari which is situated in Barmer district (140 KM from Barmer and 30 KM from Balotra). Its a railway station on old railway line which use to connect Rajasthan to Sindh. This railway line was close in 60's however is revived recently. Plz see below article.



Another link that has been revived recently is the Munabao (India) to Khokrophar (Pakistan) link. These two towns are about 6km apart across the border. This link was in use until about 1965, with through services between Jodhpur and Karachi. The crack train of the Jodhpur State Railway (the Sind Mail between Ahmedabad and Hyderabad) used to run on this route (Hyderabad - Mirpur Khas - Khokhrapar - Munabao - Barmer - Luni - Jodhpur - Pali - Marawar - Palanpur - Ahmedabad), according to a 1929 issue of the Railway Gazette.

In India, the Munabao line runs south of the Jodhpur-Jaisalmer line. Munabao was the terminus of an MG branch line from Jodhpur via Luni, Samdari and Barmer. The Luni-Barmer-Munabao section has now [2004] been converted completely to BG (Luni-Samdari in Dec. 2002, Samdari-Barmer in August 2003). From Samdari there are lines connecting to Marwar (on the Delhi-Ahmedabad line), Jodhpur (via Luni), and Gandhidham (via Bhildi). Munabao currently has a couple of passenger trains from Barmer.

On the Pakistan side, Khokrophar is the terminus of an MG branch line from Hyderabad (Sind) via Mirpur Khas (135km from Mirpur Khas to the border). Proposals had been floated [9/04] for gauge conversion to be done by 2005. As of 2004, the tracks close to the border were completely unusable and covered in sand drifts. Gauge conversion would be a prerequisite for through running of trains on this line. Pakistan had indicated [11/04] that it was willing to open this link for trough traffic, and a tentative date (Oct. 2005, later modified to Jan. 2006) had even been set for this. Gauge conversion to BG began [5/05] on the Pakistani side, starting from Khokrophar station, using 90lb/ft rails. By [10/05] only about 31km had been converted; another 100km or so remained to be converted, and the opening of train services was postponed from Oct. 2005 to Jan. 2006. Tracks were then [12/05] renovated all the way up to the border on either side, except for a small gap at the zero point which was said to be involved in some diplomatic dispute. After further postponements, the first train service on this renovated link ran on Feb. 17, 2006. The passenger service is named the 'Thar Express'. The train runs overnight from Jodhpur to Munabao; at Munabao, passengers cross over to the Pakistani train for the onward journey after completing border formalities. The connecting train runs from Munabao to Khokrophar and then to Karachi. It is planned that India and Pakistan will each run the cross-border service for 6 months at a time. In Pakistan, seven stations, Jamrao, Shadi Pali, Saeendad, Pithoro, Dhoro Naro, Chhore and Khokhrapar have been renovated for this link. Mirpur Khas to Pithoro is likely to remain dual-gauge for some time, while there is no MG service to Khokraphar now since the BG tracks have been laid on the former MG trackbed. MG lines to Nawabshah and the Pithoro Loop Line remain MG for now -- their future is uncertain.
