rail hubs
Major train stations
Rail hubs are major stations or junctions where multiple train lines converge, allowing passengers and freight to transfer between routes.
These central points in a rail network handle high volumes of traffic and connect regional lines to main corridors: Chicago and Atlanta serve as major rail hubs.
The term applies to both passenger and freight operations.
