Danish term

hjertespids

Danish to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping
Entreprisen omfatter som følge heraf ikke måling af alle komponenter i sporskifter, krydsningssporskifter samt sporskæringer. Entreprisen skal ikke måle:
1) dele af hjertespidsen
2) dele hvor tungepartiet ligger til skinne
3) den afvigende gren.


Obviously not 'apex of the heart' in this context.
Proposed translations (English)
4 nose of a crossing

En>Da railway dictionary This on-line dictionary is useful, though not 100% reliable: http://www.jernbaneklub.dk/jernbaneartikler/ordbog/opslag.as...

Man! Are you getting into a ton of details! But I guess that is the fun of our work. Maybe the wikipedia listing of railroad track configuration types might help you get on the right way.

When you say hear hjertespids, I think of the off/on-ramps from one road onto a road beneath/over, but I am probably overthinking it.
Wye, Swingnose crossings and some of the other types listed as junctions on the bottom of the Swingnose page might all serve you as hjertespids, but you have more details than I do.
