The last car in the train was the caboose for many years. Is that what you were referring to? I don't know of any other name for a small platform at the back of a rail car. Politicians would stand on the back platform of a normal car when touring the state or country while running for election many years ago. But I am not aware of any special name for the platform of a railroad car.

I think it's known as the verandah, borrowing the architectural term.
