RAILWAY VEHICLE

To provide a railway vehicle which can mitigate a reaction force generated when an impact force is applied to a front gable body structure.SOLUTION: A railway vehicle 1 has an underframe 11, a front gable body structure 12 erected on an end part of the underframe 11 in a track direction, and a side body structure 13 erected on both ends of the underframe 11 in a sleeper direction. The front gable body structure 12 consists of a gable plate 121 forming a beginning face of the railway vehicle 1, and a gable column 122 supporting the gable plate 121. The side body structure 13 consists of a side plate 131 working as a side face of the railway vehicle 1, and plural side columns 132 arranged in the track direction and supporting the side plates. In the railway vehicle 1, a corner strut 132A of the side columns 132 which is arranged nearest to the front gable body structure 12 is arranged at a position in a more rear side of the railway vehicle 1 than the gable column 122 and at a position that has a subscribed distance from a corner part 22 where an end part of the gable plate 121 in the sleeper direction and an end part of the side plate 131 on a side of the front gable body structure 12 in the track direction cross.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】前面妻構体に衝撃力が加わったときに発生する反力を緩和することが可能な鉄道車両を提供すること。【解決手段】台枠１１と、台枠１１の軌道方向の端部に立設される前面妻構体１２と、台枠１１の枕木方向の両端部に立設される側構体１３と、を有する鉄道車両１であって、前面妻構体１２は、鉄道車両１の先頭面をなす妻板１２１と、妻板１２１を支える妻柱１２２とからなり、側構体１３は、鉄道車両１の側面をなす側板１３１と、軌道方向に並び、側板を支える複数の側柱１３２と、からなる鉄道車両１において、側柱１３２のうちの、最も前面妻構体１２に近い位置に配置される隅柱１３２Ａが、妻柱１２２よりも鉄道車両１の後方側であって、妻板１２１の枕木方向の端部と、側板１３１の軌道方向の前面妻構体１２側の端部と、が交わる角部２２から所定の距離をもった位置に配置されていること。【選択図】図２
