Rail Car

Abstract: provided is a rail car that is capable of efficiently transmitting vibrational forces that have been transmitted from a bogie via a yaw damper and a yaw damper support to an underframe to a rail car shell, and that is of a simple structure, sufficient mechanical strength, and light weight for reducing the amount of heat applied to perform welding and for allowing a nondestructive inspection to be performed with ease. the rail car includes a rail car shell, a bogie that supports the rail car shell, a yaw damper having an end connected to the bogie, and a yaw damper support to which another end of the yaw damper is connected. the rail car shell includes an underframe including a floor assembly providing a floor and a bolster beam joined to the floor assembly, and a pair of side structures erected at both transverse ends of the underframe. in this rail car, the yaw damper support is fixed to a transverse end of the bolster beam.
