A railcar includes a side sliding door and entrance peripheral-member surrounding the side entrance. The entrance peripheral-member includes a door pocket post in which outer and inner portions are inwardly of the outer portion in car-width direction coupled to each other. The side sliding door peripheral portion is pressed against an edge portion, extending along the side entrance of the entrance peripheral-member via a rubber seal at the side entrance closed state. In the side entrance open state, the side sliding door is pulled into a door pocket space facing the door pocket post inner portion. A portion projecting inwardly in car-width direction beyond the inner portion and including a tip end contacting the rubber seal provided at at least part of region constituted by portions of upper and lower edges of the side entrance peripheral-member and lateral edge at the edge portion door pocket post side of the entrance peripheral-member.

Railcar and door pocket post

A curved plate for a railcar bodyshell includes: a plate main body including an outer surface facing an outside of a railcar and an inner surface facing an inside of the railcar and the plate main body having a curved shape; and reinforcing ribs projecting from the inner surface of the plate main body toward the inside of the railcar. At least two of the plurality of the reinforcing ribs include machining reference surfaces formed on a same plane as reference surfaces used when machining an outer surface of the plate main body. At least one of the plurality of the reinforcing rib includes a mounting reference surface perpendicular to one of a rail direction, a sleeper direction, and a vertical direction as a reference surface used when mounting the curved plate to the railcar.
