The Neemuch Nasirabad State Railway was a Metre Gauge(MG) line and connected Neemuch to Ajmer. The construction started in 1875, and the work completed in March 1881.
Also known as the Rutlam Neemuch Nusserbad Railway , the engineer Horace Bell is recorded as being deployed from the Railway Branch of the Public Works Department to this railway for a short time in late 1875.
In 1881-82, the Rajputana-Malwa State Railway (RMSR) was created amalgamating, under single management, existing State Railways:-
- Neemuch Nasirabad State Railway together with
- Rajputana State Railway (RSR), which by 1874 connected Delhi to Agra via Alwar and Bandikui in 1874, extended to Ajmer in 1875 with the aim to reach Ahmadabad.
- Holkar State Railway, which had opened 1874 from Khandwa reaching Indore, 1876.
- Scindia-Neemuch Railway from Indore to Nimach, including a branch line from Indore to Ujjain opened in August 1876 . The entire line was completed in 1879-80
- Western Rajputana State Railway, known to have existed but no information found.
All these railways were worked by Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway(BB&CIR) State Railways; all worked by BB&CIR.
In 1900 the RMSR was merged into the Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway(BB&CIR), becoming the latter's Metre Gauge(MG) section; known as Ratlam Division of BB&CIR..
