In NYC there are some very "interesting" train yard connections that are track switch junctions with converging and diverging tracks, but usually the listings considers those that are in passenger service.As for elevated flying junctions - any short listing would have to include Queensborough Plaza, the Broadway Junction massive trackage, East 180th Street, and the A-train in the Rockaways - Hammels Wye, as well as the connection to the former LIRR trackage near Rockaway Blvd. Some of the train yard junctions such as 111th Street and Wilets Point on the Flushing line, or the Westchester Square train yard track connections, the train yard connection 238th Street on #2 and #5 lines, among the ones that can be quickly named. Several of the train yard connections are flat junctions, a quick listing would include the #1 train yard connection, the #4 train yard connection, the L-train yard in Canarsie, the D-train at Bay 50th Street, or the F-train at Avenue X, Of the older no longer existing junctions - honorable mention has to go the flying junction on the #4 line between 167th and 161th Streets for the Ninth Avenue El; on the #2 & #5 lines outside of the 149th Street-Third Avenue station for a connection to the Third Avenue EL, the massive Queensborough Plaza complex that includes both BMT & IRT sections and associated trackage; the massive Atlantic AVenue junction that included track for the Fulton Street El, the flat junction and former train yard that connected near the West Farms Station on the #2 and #5 lines; the massive Polo Grounds complex of trackage for the Ninth Avenue EL; the connection at 59th Street for the Second Avenue EL and its Queens bound trackage; the track connection between the Sixth and Ninth Avenue EL trackage for the 53rd Street routing as well as the track connection for the 57th Street-Sixth terminal; and I'm sure that there are few other junctions (flying or flat) that I've missed on the elevated lines that no longer exist.
