level junction

This makes for a very compact track layout at the expense of using a level junction.

In particular, the level junction in Weddel has proved to cause delays.

Nova Scotia also numbers level junctions on designated express highways.

The station had a turntable, a level junction and a goods shed equipped with a loading track.

Level junctions are often found on tram or streetcar networks where lines cross or split.

The level junction (diamond) is still preserved as an historic site, though the north-south line has since been abandoned through Moorehead.

The station was located at the level junction between the two rail lines, making a right angle right at the crossover.

Level junctions, particularly those of fine angles or near right angles, create derailment risks and impose speed restrictions.

Level junctions are considered a maintenance issue by railroad companies as the inherent gaps tend to be hard on locomotive and rolling stock wheelsets.

A grade-separated rail interchange is known as a flying junction and one which is not a level junction.

The opposite of a level junction is a flying junction, where individual tracks rise or fall to pass over or under other tracks.

Takahama Line and Ōtemachi Line are known to have one of the few surviving level junctions crossing each other.

In one instance, the California Southern was set to build a level junction across the SP tracks in Colton.

In 1969 a level junction was installed at Mickle Trafford so Manchester trains could be diverted to Chester General.

The current configuration dates from a 1956-61 reconstruction project to straighten the platforms and eliminate a level junction north of the station that had caused a switching bottleneck.

This is one of the few remaining level junctions in the subway as well as one of the few places on revenue tracks with slip switches.

At the eastern end of the station, the S-Bahn line branches at a level junction towards Hanau and Offenbach-Bieber.

Some at-grade intersections (level junctions) have posted numbers; former examples are the Taconic State Parkway and NY 17.

The alternative to grade separation is a level junction or flat junction, where tracks cross at grade, and conflicting routes must be protected by interlocked signals.

The No. 21 line is routed onto the subway via the Warren Street Ramp and level junction at the Orange Street grade crossing.

The capacity of a railway junction can be increased with improved signalling measures, by building points suitable for higher speeds, or by turning level junctions into flying junctions.

The preferred option was for a three level junction that would separate motorway/trunk road traffic from local traffic completely and provided limited interchange opportunities for through traffic:

Split level junctions including underpassing or overpassing the A63 were considered for the bottleneck at the Mytongate roundabout, with additional congestion easing measures, and pedestrian bridges.

When the R S & L construction crew needed to cross the Erie's tracks in Le Roy, they simply built a level junction and kept going.
