Norwegian term or phrase: sporvekselsløyfer
Partier med variasjoner i setningspotensialet må derfor vektlegges spesielt under prosjekteringen, for eksempel ved prosjektering av sporvekselsløyfer, hvor det kreves samtidig tilgang til begge spor ved justeringsarbeider.

Apparently these are two points that are served by the same command.

I also found an occurrence of it here:

For at stasjonen fortsatt skal ha en akseptabel trafikkavvikling, må det legges inn en sporvekselsløyfe fra spor 2 til 3 (se vedlagt prinsippskisse). Disse sporvekslene er ferdig bygd og ligger lagret på stasjonsområdet, de skal benevnes sporveksel 8 og sporveksel 9. Sporvekselsløyfen skal være permanent også etter at anleggstiden er over.

I know the obvious thing would be 'points loop', but I can't find anything to support this.

loop points


Explanation:
Sidings connected at both ends to a running line is known as a loop
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siding_(rail)
There's plenty of google hits for loop points, which I take to be points at either end of the loop. So depending on the context, perhaps loop points or simply loop can be used.
