Keilbahnhof (plural: Keilbahnhöfe, literally: "wedge station") is the German word for a station located between branching tracks.^[1] There appears to be no direct English equivalent for this term, which appears in the route diagrams of German railway lines.

Examples in Germany:

Berga-Kelbra station on the Halle-Kassel line
Hagenow Land station on the Berlin-Hamburg Railway
Niebüll station on the Marsh Railway
Nordstemmen station on the North-South railway
Wittenberge station, Brandenburg
