What is a "buffer stop"?
A buffer stop is a safety device placed at the end of a railway track to prevent trains from going past the track's end or colliding with obstacles. It absorbs the impact if a train moves too far along the track or fails to stop in time. Buffer stops are usually found at the end of dead-end tracks, station platforms, or sidings. They can be made of various materials such as metal or concrete and are designed to slow down or stop the train safely, reducing the risk of damage to the train or the surrounding infrastructure.
Example
The buffer stop ensures that trains come to a safe and controlled halt at the end of the track.
Engineers regularly inspect and maintain buffer stops to guarantee their effectiveness in railway operations.
When a train approaches the buffer stop, it activates braking systems automatically to avoid collisions.
