A fastening configuration for connecting a roof-side equipment container to the roof of a rail vehicle includes a fastening rail and a clamping device which engages in the fastening rail in order to clamp a retention section of the equipment container. The fastening rail is constructed as a T-rail which has a web associated with the roof and a support plate at the end of the web which runs perpendicular to the web and which is associated with the retention section of the equipment container. The T-rail has a hole which extends through the support plate into the web, and the clamping device can be inserted in the hole and engages under the support plate.

A method for connecting two or more components including overlapping surface sections via a laser beam. In the method, prior to the laser welding, the components are fixed in a positive fit to at least one of the overlapping surface sections by local cold joining, preferably via rivets or screws and are then laser welded, a laser weld seam being created in close proximity to each fixing point that has been produced by cold joining, in particular as close as possible to the rivet or screw.
