Rajputana State Railway extended the Delhi-Ajmer 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) wide metre gauge line to Ahmeabad in 1881.[2] It was converted to 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) wide broad gauge in 1997.[3]
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.[4] The line now runs up to Munabao on the India-Pakistan border and has been fully converted to broad gauge.[5]
The Mavli-Marwar metre gauge line was opened in 1936.[6]
