History
Rajputana State Railway extended the Delhi-Ajmer 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) wide metre gauge line to Ahmeabad in 1881. It was converted to 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) wide broad gauge in 1997.
The Rajputana-Malwa Railway built the metre gauge line from Marwar Junction to Pali in 1882. Later, this section was extended to Jodhpur and formed the Jodhpur Railway. The line now runs up to Munabao on the India-Pakistan border and has been fully converted to broad gauge.
The Mavli-Marwar metre gauge line was opened in 1936.
