For mnemonic value, we could call it a "train":

| Loco b
I rather like it too. The mnemonic version sounds a lot nicer than
"ListEnd", though I'd probably call the constructors Cabin and Caboose.
I suspect the Train name runs into cultural differences. Cabin and
Caboose are not names I know in relation to trains, and even Wagon and
Loco don't immediately convey to me which one is which. I think a more
obvious Cons/Terminator naming scheme is best.
