Sargans railway station (Switzerland) is a junction station located on the junction (Keilbahnhof) of two railway lines

Junction station usually refers to a railway station situated either on or close to a rail junction, where lines to two or more destinations diverge.

Many junction stations have multiple platform faces to enable trains for multiple destinations to stand at the station at the same time, but this is not necessary.

There are many stations with the word "junction" in their title, such as:
