I disembarked trains to design junction relocation (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

transplant

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

'relocation' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'i disembarked trains to design junction' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'i' could be 'a' and 'a' is present in the answer.
'design' could be 'plan' (synonyms) and 'plan' is present in the answer.
'junction' could be 't' and 't' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
