Railway Track Junctions: Double Junctions

A double junction is required when two or more main line tracks are running and other tracks are branching off from these main line tracks in the same direction.

Double Junctions

A double junction (Fig. 15.17) is required when two or more main line tracks are running and other tracks are branching off from these main line tracks in the same direction. The layout of a double junction consists of ordinary turnouts with one or more diamond crossings depending upon the number of parallel tracks.

Double junctions may occur either on straight or curved main lines and the branch lines may also be either single or double lines. These types of junctions are quite common in congested yards.
