All,

I'm wondering what would be typical for end-of-track stops on branchline stub tracks.  On one photo of the Prague line in "West From Omaha" it looks like the turntable's tail track (over-run track?) just had a pile of ballast at its end.  Would this be typical, or would there be a tie-built or rail-built or other formal stop on stub tracks?  If it matters, 1920-1950 era.

Thank you,

Randy
