I'm not sure there was a significance. It was the Armisitce that was signed there, not the Treaty, which was predictably signed in Versailles Palace, in the Hall of Mirrors I think.

Lieutenant,
the railway carriage was the headquarters of General Foch, the supreme commander of the allies. And as Kilted man says the armistice is signed there.
Kind regards.
