THE ANSWER: These are not junctions in the true sense, but places where a line on one gauge terminates and a line on another gauge starts.
Kalka :BG/NG
Mettupalaiyam: BG/MG
Udaipur City: BG/MG for the last 10 years, soon to become full BG.
Balgona: BG/NG for the last few years, soon to become full BG.
Parli Vaijnath: BG/MG until about 1990, then full BG.
These are not to be confused with NJP, Siliguri, Pathankot, Neral and other junctions where trains leave in 3 or more directions. In the above examples trains leave in only 2 directions.
