It was opened on 18 August 1876. The railway was renamed as Rajputana–Malwa Railway when a new line from [[Ajmer]] to [[Khandwa]] via [[Ujjain|New Ujjain Junction]], [[Indore Junction BG|Indore Junction]], [[Indore|Indore New Rajendra Nagar Terminus]] and [[Mhow]] was added to it. On 9 March 1885 [[Jodhpur]] was connected to this network from [[Marwar Junction]] with metre gauge track and later became part of the Jodhpur-Bikaner Railway. '''F-734''', the first locomotive built in India, was built by the Ajmer workshop of the Rajputana Malwa Railway in 1895. This locomotive with outside connecting and side rods was used on Rajputana Malwa as well as [[Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway]] systems. The management of Rajputana-Malwa Railway was taken over by the [[Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway]] (B.B.C.I.) in 1889 and it was absorbed into BBCI in 1900. | It was opened on 18 August 1876.
