Where ever I read this, they were called guard rails. In case of a derailment on a bridge.
Keeps derailed cars on the bridge.

Just to say if different. Looking at the tracks on the bridge.
If the train derailed to the left, the "guard rail on the right side will keep the right car wheels from traveling any farther to the left.

I may have seen this around switches, as well.
It's journey, learning about this stuff.
Please ask any questions! Hopefully, someone will have an answer.

Thanks Pat, for your explanation of the internal ‘guard’ rails.
I never knew.
