railway hub
Train line convergence
A railway hub is a station or junction where multiple rail lines converge, serving as a central point for connections and transfers.
Major cities typically function as railway hubs, with routes radiating outward to smaller destinations: Chicago was the railway hub of the American Midwest.
The term extends to any central node in a transportation network.
