We have little small platforms at track level at the ends of old "L" stations here in Chicago. The extensions are called "fool catchers." Goes back to the days at the turn of the last century when riders riding overcrowed trains would cling inbetween cars and in rare cases hang onto the outside end gates.I also love the phrase "fall before the train."
