Railways around the worlduse catch points (referred to as "derails" in the US), to protect main lines from unbraked runaway vehicles. Deliberately derailing a freight wagon sounds drastic, but is infinitely preferable to allowing it to stray into the path of an oncoming train. They were thus commonly found at the exits of yards. Also used at intervals up long gradients to prevent uncoupled vehicles running all the way back down the hill. Use them on your own layout to acheive prototypical levels of details, or as convient way to stop your trains.
