English is not my native language, so:

What is that track or branch called and final stations so the engine can
switch to the other end of the train? Overrun? circulation?

Passing Loop with head shunt.

-----<______>---

There are several versions of this possible.


What is the stopper (buffer stop) called in English?

Buffer stop, or Hydraulic Buffer (depeding on design)

Of course, that is English, not NA :).  Over here, they don't really exist • to
