Title says most of it. Does it always involve two tracks?

What's a junction?
- Thread starter TR-Flyer
- Start date
Ted:
I would say that a junction has a least 2 routes going out one way and at least one going out the other.
Minimum junction is one switch.
A crossing with no switches is not a junction, just a traffic headache.
Is this what you were expecting?
(Exception: Halton County Radial Railway has a station labelled Malfunction Junction, which is a one-holer.)

A Junction is generally a station where one or more tracks, be it mainline or branchline meet the tracks of another mainline or branchline and interchange between the two is possible.
A crossing, where two tracks cross over each other without the ability to move from one of the tracks to the other is not a junction.
A junction can involve one or more railroads.
Happy modeling

Ah, Schoolhouse Rock. You just have to love the classics. I learned so much from those shorts. I even bought the 30th anniversary top 25 tape for my son. The number one short?
Conjunction Junction, of course!

Conjunction junction lyrics:
"Conjunction junction, what's your function?
Hookin' up words and phrases and clauses
Conjunction junction, how's that function?
I got three favorite cars
That get most of my job done
Conjunction junction what's their function?
I got AND, BUT n' OR, they get you pretty far
Spoken:
AND, that's an addative, like this AND that.
BUT - well, that's sort of the opposite.
Not this, BUT that.
And then there's OR, O-R.
When you got a choice like this or that.
AND, BUT, and OR, they get you pretty far!
Conjunction junction, what's your function?
Hookin' up two box cars and making 'em run right
Milk and honey, bread and butter, peas and rice,
Hey that's nice
Dirty but happy, diggin' and scratchin',
losin' your shoe and a button or two
He was poor but honest, sad but true
Boo hoo, hoo hoo, hoo!
Conjunction junction, what's your function?
Hookin' up two cars to one
When you got something like this choice:
Either now or later
Or no choice:
Neither now nor ever!
Hey that's clever!
Eat this or that, grow thin or fat
I bet you now I'm too skinny as it is!
Conjunction junction, what's your function?
Hookin' up phrases and clauses that balance like:
Out of the fryin' pan and into the fire
He cut loose the sandbags
but the balloon wouldn't go any higher
(yeah) Let's go up to the mountains,
or down to the seas
You should always say thank you
or at least say please.
Conjunction junction, what's your function?
Hookin' up words and phrases and clauses
in complex sentences like:
Spoken:
In the morning, when I'm usually wide awake,
I love to take a walk through the gardens and down by the lake
Where I often see a duck and a drake,
and I ask myself as I walk by
Just what they'd say if they could speak,
Although I know that that's an absurd thought.
Conjunction junction, what's your function?
Hookin' up words and phrases and clauses
Conjunction junction, hows that function?
I like tyin' up two cars and makin 'em run right
Conjunction junction, what's your function?
I'm gonna get you there if you're very careful...
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Well.......
Where to start? YA go away for a couple o' days and a total hullabaloo takes place. Where's Big Bird when ya need 'em?
Thanks for the clarifications (?) i THINK i now know to what a junction refers. I can also add another song to my railroad CD. May have to get my harp out and sing a little tune on the way to work tomorrow.
“I like you, you like me……” Wait a minute! Wrong era and animal! BB come home!
“At this juncture, it would be imprudent to precipitate an incipient incident.” GHWB

At the risk of returning to the topic itself, a junction often resulted in the "creation" of a town or village that only came to exist because of the railroad's chosen route.
A very early example [1830's], is Frederick Junction, on the B & O. In the earliest days of the railroad, on it's way from Airy to Point of Rocks, MD, the logical route was west. The largest nearby center of commerce was Frederick, MD. , but it was 4 miles too far north. The railroad established Frederick Junction,on its' westbound route, and from there, put in a separate 4 mile branch to Frederick. A village grew up around that junction.
Later, the Pennsylvania put in a southwesterly line into Frederick from the north, connecting with that B & O branch.
