Russian term

нерабочий тамбур

Russian to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping Railroad
I'm not sure how to translate "нерабочий" here. Context:

Курение разрешается только в нерабочем тамбуре (около туалетов).

Proposed translations

a platform not in use

Presumably as a fire safety measure, as opposed to avoiding irritation to boarding passengers

disagree Irina Harlanova : It is not just "not in use", there should be a special term, as in Russian it means "the end of the railcar where there is no emergency brake valve

Reference:

Тамбур с некотоловой стороны вагона

Нерабочий тамбур - это тамбур с некотловой стороны вагона.
Не уверена, как это переводится, но врядли просто platform not in use...

а еще это "нетормозной конец вагона", т.е. в этом тамбуре вагона нет штурвала ручного тормоза. Возможно, можно перевести как "non-brake end of the railcar". Вот тут употребляется такой вариант http://archive.gipsa.usda.gov/license/USGSA-Exam-Questions-S...
Example sentence:

В вагонах поездов дальнего и местного следования курение разрешается только в тамбурах вагонов с некотловой стороны (нерабочие тамбура).

Note from asker:
Irina, I used your suggestion, "non-brake end of the railcar," but I can't award you the points because it's in the Reference Comments. Why don't you offer it as an Answer.
