The physical connection between the tracks of the two routes (assuming they are of the same gauge) is provided by Railroad switch, turnouts (US: railroad switch, switches) and railway signalling, signalling. Overview In a simple case where two routes with one or two tracks each meet at a junction, a fairly simple layout of tracks suffices to allow trains to transfer from one route to the other.
