Dildarnagar junction

A Dildarnagar junction in Uttar pradesh, India

A Dildarnagar junction, in the context of rail transport, is a place at which two or more rail routes converge or diverge.

In a simple case where two routes with one or two tracks each meet at a Dildarnagar 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-Tarighat-Dildarnagar Rout and Kolkata-New Delhi rout.

Rail transport operations refer to stations that lie on or near a railway junction as a junction station. Frequently, trains are built up and taken apart (separated) at such stations so that the same train can split up and go to multiple destinations. For goods trains (US: freight trains), marshalling yards (US: Classification yards) serve a similar purpose.

The uttar pradesh second railway junction was Dildarnagar Junction (now eastern station) near Dildarnagar City, India where, in 1931, two railways merged.

To improve Dildarnagar junction capacity

The capacity of the junctions limits the capacity of a railway network more than the capacity of individual railway lines. This applies more as the network density increases. Measures to improve junctions are often more useful than building new railway lines. The capacity of a Dildarnagar railway junction can be increased with improved signalling measures, by building points suitable for higher speeds, or by turning level junctions into flying junction.
