In my experience single line routes that terminate always have short passing lanes (terminology?) so that trains heading in opposite directions can get passed each other.

You'd only need to move the disabled carriage / section to one of those to enable at least some capacity for the line to continue operating.

That was my interpretation of the comment.

. . . short passing lanes (terminology?) . . .

I believe "siding" is the word you are looking for.
