What is a Railway Junction?
A Junction (Jn) is a railway station where three or more separate train lines meet or diverge. Unlike a regular station where tracks only go in two directions (forward and backward), a Junction acts as a "crossroad" for trains.
Key Features of a Junction:
Multiple Directions: From a junction, a train can travel to at least three different destinations.
Branch Lines: It is a point where a "Branch Line" splits away from the "Main Line."
Transfer Hub: Junctions are crucial for passengers who need to change trains to reach a different part of the country.
