A rail vehicle has a bogie, which is covered in such a way that a bogie cavity exists, which is formed in the under floor region of the rail vehicle by a cover assembly and walls adjacent to the bogie. A device for producing pressurized air is connected, with respect to flow, to an air inlet device in the walls of the bogie cavity in such a way that the air can be blown into the bogie cavity.

A device for removing obstacles from a travel path of a vehicle includes clearing blades being mutually aligned in the form of a wedge and each having a wedge tip end facing the other clearing blade and a free end facing away from the wedge tip end. A fastening device or fastener fastens the device to the vehicle and a device for reducing a pileup generated by the clearing blades reduces pressure fluctuations at the vehicle tip without the need for providing the clearing blades with passages, apertures, or the like. The device for reducing the pileup has at least one vertical guide plate disposed in the vicinity or region of the free end of a clearing blade so that an air stream generated by the clearing blade flows past the vertical guide plate.
