Here are three things that appear at the end of railways. There is also a derailer but it doesn't always occur at the end of the road.

Balloon: A large section of looped track usually at the end of a spur or branch which allows trains to turn around for the return trip. Buffer or Bumper stop: The barrier installed at the end of a dead end track to prevent rail vehicles from proceeding further. Terminal Station :( esp. U.S.), terminus (esp. UK): A station sited where a railway line or service ends or terminates.
