railway / railroad junction


Explanation:
Termin switch ili points oznacava skretnicu pomocu koje se formira rasputnica u zeleznici (pandan raskrsnice u drumskom saobracaju), a rasputnica se oznacava terminom (railway / railroad) junction. Junction je opsti termin koji obuhvata i raskrsnicu i rasputnicu na engleskom, pa se po potrebi predmece rec road za raskrsnicu ili railway / railroad za rasputnicu.

Example sentence(s):
  • The workers are repairing a set of points at the junction 12 where the line to Newcastle branches off.
  • When a car reaches a junction, it turns, but for a train to turn at a junction, you need a switch.
