'''Ajmer Junction railway station''' (station code: '''AII''') is located in [[Ajmer district]] in the Indian state of [[Rajasthan]] .

==History==
Initially it was built as a [[metre-gauge]] (MG) station with lines from [[Chittaurgarh Junction railway station]], [[Ahmedabad Junction railway station]], [[Phulera Junction railway station]]. In the 1990s, the [[Delhi–Jaipur line]] and [[Jaipur–Ahmedabad line]] were converted to [[broad gauge]] (BG). Then the station had a parallel BG – MG lines coming from north from [[Phulera Junction railway station]], and after the station the MG line to Chittaurgarh crossed over to the Southeast side while the BG continued Southwest to [[Beawar railway station]] and [[Ahmedabad Junction railway station]]. Finally, somewhere in 2007, the line going toward [[Ratlam Junction railway station]] to Chittaurgarh was converted to BG.
