| Junction              | A junction is a point feature that identifies the connectivity along the Rail Link where two or more tracks connect to each other.       |
| Network Terminal Node | A terminal node is a point feature that is used to denote the end of a rail link, e.g. where a track starts or ends within a site.       |
| Pseudo Node           | A pseudo node is a point feature that is used to break up the Rail Network for connectivity, e.g. where a tunnel starts or ends.         |
| Station               | A formal stop on a railway network or light railway network where a train or light rail vehicle may stop to pick up goods or passengers. |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.os.uk/osngd/code-lists/code-lists-overview/railwaynodedescriptionvalue.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
