I believe the answer is:

ouyen

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the railway junction' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'ring university with money' is the wordplay.
'ring' becomes 'O' (O is the shape of a ring).
'university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation as in UMass).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'money' becomes 'yen' (Japanese currency).
'o'+'u'+'yen'='OUYEN'

'from' is the link.
