Abstract
A railcar door apparatus includes: a side sliding door that opens and closes an opening of a side bodyshell of a railcar; a first elastic member attached vertically to an end of the door; and a second elastic member opposed to the first so they do not touch when the door is closed. The first elastic member includes a first base portion and a first projecting wall portion projecting from the base toward the second elastic member; the second elastic member includes a second base portion and a second projecting wall portion projecting from the base toward the first elastic member; when the door is closed, a gap space is formed between the first and second elastic members, and the projecting wall portions overlap; and vertical grooves or projections are formed on the outside of at least one of the projecting wall portions, the outer surface facing the gap space.
