Abstract: The present utility model relates to design of open wagons used for transporting cargo that does not require protection from atmospheric precipitation. Disclosed is a railway car comprising at least two bodies supported by carriages, each body comprising a frame, two side walls and two end walls. Said at least two bodies are sequentially coupled to each other by means of at least one joint assembly, wherein each body is supported by two carriages, and wherein bodies adjacent to each joint assembly are supported by one common carriage. The distance between the closest points of mutually facing end walls of the neighboring bodies of said at least two bodies arranged on a straight track section is less than 800 mm. The technical result lies in increase of useable volume of the space between sequentially arranged railway car bodies and decrease of empty weight-to-carrying capacity ratio of the railway car.
