Indeed there are; Kreiensen is an example of a "Keilbahnhof" or "wedge station", which is situated at the confluence of two railway lines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keilbahnhof Date: 07/22/20 07:02 Re: European Railway Stations Part 8 Author: andersonb109 That's probably why I was there. I changed trains I believe from a main line train (possibly ICE) to a local to get new mileage to wherever I was going.
