Abstract: Provided is a railway vehicle having a configuration which can sufficiently protect the cabin even when large external force is applied to the side structures and the end structures thereof. The vehicle body of the railway vehicle is formed by joining an underframe 20, side structures 30, end structures 50, and a roof structure 60 together. The lower inner face of the side post 31 of the side structure is joined to the outer face portion of a side beam 21 of the underframe. The lower inner faces of the post reinforcement members (an end post reinforcement member 57 and a corner post reinforcement member 58) for reinforcing the post members (an end post 53 and a corner post 54) of the end structure are joined to the outer face portion of an end beam 26 of the underframe.

Abstract: A corridor apparatus of an articulating section for use in articulated cars comprises: a pair of rectangular outer corridors respectively provided to end surfaces of car bodies to be articulated, in such a manner as to project therefrom and surround corridor entrances of the car bodies; a pair of rectangular inner corridors each adapted to partially fit with each of the outer corridors in a connected manner; and a pair of gate-shaped inner frames each connected to the other end of each of the inner corridors, the inner frames being fitted with each other such as to be swingable in the direction of the articulating section's corridor with lower ends thereof as a supporting point, wherein the rectangular outer corridors, the inner corridors, and the inner frames constitute peripheral walls of the articulating section's corridor, fitting portions of the outer corridors and the inner corridors are arranged to be rotatable around a center point of the articulating section's corridor, coupling portions of each of t
