Hey everyone <br /> <br />Couldnt find if this was asked before or not and may seem silly to some but im gunna ask anyway. My query regards spurs and dead end tracks. All the photos i've seen show the tracks ending with either some sort of large bulky buffer stop or a small red or yellow thing mounted one on each rail. What are this small things and what do they do? I guess they are designed to stop rollingstock from going off the end but could something that appears that small stop a locomotive? Also do the methods used to end spur tracks have to meet some sort of federal regulation? Over here its not uncommon to see nothing more than a white painted pair of sleepers (ties) bolted across the rail heads and/or a large pile of dirt. Can this be found in the US? <br /> <br />Thank you for the info [:)]
