Does anyone know where I can find a list of all of the railroad junctions in the US, Canada and Mexico?
Thanks In Advance

If it exists, this will be one massive list.

If there is such a list, someone invested a lot of time in it and it would be accurate for only a very short time frame.
If you want to do it yourself, get a late 1960's Official Railway/road Equipment Register. At the end of each railroad's entry there is a list of junctions with other railroads.
Another aproach would be to get a complete set of routing tarrifs. These would tell you what routes were available for certain traffic. This would probably give you a less complete list than the Equipment Register.

Clarification please.
Do you want locations where one RR connects with and exchanges traffic with one or more other RRS. Or do you want locations where two, or more, RR meet with crossing frogs?
Never mind interchange - there are places where a given railroad crosses itself. Deshler and Fostoria come to mind, with CSX crossing CSX. Both are busy junctions, although Fostoria also includes a junction with NS.

The interchange junction points list is available. For a price, unfortunately.

I have a 1978 list of interchange points and their AAR assigned code. It doesn't list the railroads who interchanged at those points. As one can imagine, many of those points no longer exist. Even some locations where two railroads may still cross, but the interchange track has been removed.

And others still added gauging the filings at STB. (but rarely do you see a connection abandoned there, even with the track gone)
I would appreciate a copy of your list of interchanges. You can email it to me at igoldberg1@comcast.net.
