Ratlam has emerged as the growing division for western railways.

The trains run on metre gauge section of western railways.

Western Railway has pledged that its trains will stop running if "even a single person" is seen travelling on the roof.

It also was the location of the former Western Railway Station.

As a result of the damage received the Western Railway was closed to traffic at the end of the war.

The new section of the Western Railway was opened on 30 September 1990 and the high-speed line a year later.

The station is the terminus for local trains on Western Railways.

The Norfolk and Western Railway however, had taken development in a different direction.

It is bridged by the south western railway.

The Western Railways is planning to widen platforms at the station.
