disagree  John Morgan: These are "buffers". Remember when a train comes in to a railway station platform and overshoots a little? After the steel contact plates there is often a wooden structure.

wooden bumper blocks


Explanation:
A headstock of a rail vehicle is a transverse structural member located at the extreme end of the vehicle's underframe. The headstock supports the coupling at that end of the vehicle, and may also support buffers, in which case it may also be known as a buffer beam.[
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headstock_(rolling_stock)

The bumper block Ill. Figs. 3 and 4, consists of a transverse wooden beam, the ends of which abut against the vertical inner sides of the Z-bar side sills 5A.
:
If the bumper spring ll, and its face plate l2, Figs. 3, 4, and 5, be omitted, and the bumper block Ill, replaced by the also transverse wooden bumper block IDA, Figs. 8 and 9, wide enough, as it appears in Fig. 9, to be held by the bolts l3. against the vertical member of the end channel MA, as shown, Figs. 8 and 9, there will thus be provided a solid springless bumper. which nevertheless (being wood) is also cushioning in its action.

21. Should hydraulic pressure be applied to a pump liner for removal purposes, a heavy metal bar or wooden bumper block should be used for shock impact.

Also provided on the platform at the base of the piston motor devices 40, is a resilient abutment 50 adapted to be engaged by a wooden bumper block 52 mounted on the lower side of the counterweight portion 38 of the span section.
