Abstract:
According to a railcar, a fuse member that couples a first end beam to a second end beam along a car longitudinal direction is formed as a channel material with an approximately U-shaped cross-section, including a web disposed to extend along the car longitudinal direction and a pair of flanges disposed upright from both end portions of this web. Accordingly, when a load received in collision exceeds a predetermined value, the fuse member buckles to allow the first end beam to move toward the second end beam to ensure reducing variation of the load that allows the first end beam to move toward the second end beam. Consequently, when the intended load is input, the first end beam is allowed to move toward the second end beam.
