Slagelse railway station ( da, Slagelse Station or ''Slagelse Banegård'') is the main railway station serving the town of Slagelse in southwestern Zealand, Denmark. It is located in the centre of the town, on the northern edge of the historic town centre, and immediately adjacent to the Slagelse bus station. Slagelse station is located on the main line (railway), main line Copenhagen–Fredericia/Taulov Line, Copenhagen–Fredericia railway from Copenhagen to Funen and Jutland. It is also the southern Terminal train station, terminus of the Tølløse Line, Tølløse branch line from Slagelse to on the Northwest Line (Denmark), Northwest Line. The station opened in 1856, and was moved to its current location in 1892. Its second and current station building designed by the architect Niels Peder Christian Holsøe was inaugurated in 1892.

Junction (rail)
A junction, in the context of rail transport, is a place at which two or more rail routes converge or diverge. This implies a physical connection between the tracks of the two routes (assuming they are of the same gauge), provided by ''points'' (US: switches) and signalling. Junctions are important for rail systems, their installation into a rail system can expand route capacity, and have a powerful impact upon on-time performance. 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. More complicated junctions are needed to permit trains to travel in either direction after joining the new route, for example by providing a triangular track layout. In this latter case, the three points of the triangle may be given different names, for example using points of the compass as well as the name of the overall place. Rail transport operations refer to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
