philgoddard Nov 22, 2012:
I can see why you suggested "agencies", in the sense of "departments", but I don't think that's the meaning here. My reading of it is "operating location".

Selected

operating/operation station

At Thales we use "operating station" for "Betriebsstelle" and apparently RailLexic 4.0 contains a similar German term:

DE: Sonderbetriebsstelle noun feminine
Definition: Zusätzlich eingerichtete Bahnanlage zur außerplanmäßigen Regelung und Sicherung des Zug- und Rangierbetriebes auf einem Bahnhof und auf freier Strecke. Sonderbetriebsstellen werden z.B. bei Fahrversuchen oder Bauarbeiten eingerichtet.

EN: special operation station
Definition: Supplementarily installed facility to ensure the regularity and safety of unplanned traffic or of vehicle manoeuvres in stations and on lines. Such stations are installed for test runs or line work.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Kim Metzger : Since the asker is too lazy to enter Betriebsstelle - operating station in the glossary, why don't you?

I wanted to a few days ago, but then I got distracted by work and forgot. Thank you for the reminder! :)

Location

I did a railway project for a large, logistics services provider in Europe. Our terminology guide had "location" as the translation for every instance of "Betriebsstelle". "Operating location" (Phil's suggestion) is also good.

Wikipedia entry in the rail context

This entry may be helpful in determining what is a Betriebsstelle.

Phil's suggestion of "operating location" is clearly on the right lines.
