Abstract
A rail vehicle, in particular a locomotive, has at least one bogie with a bogie frame supported resiliently on sets of wheels, and a superstructure, which is supported resiliently on the at least one bogie and is mounted rotatably about a vertical axis, with a under frame. A removal device for removing snow and/or ice is arranged between the under frame and the bogie frame. The removal device has an inclined sliding surface which at least partially covers the bogie frame. Deposits of snow and/or ice both on the bogie frame and on the under frame of the superstructure can thereby be prevented or eliminated.
