Abstract
A railcar includes: an underframe including an end beam at its railcar-longitudinal-direction end portion; side bodyshells; a roof bodyshell; side outside plates respectively arranged at both railcar-width-direction end portions of the railcar and constituting the side bodyshells; corner posts extending from the end beam toward the roof bodyshell; and intermediate coupling members each configured to couple the side outside plate and the corner post, the stiffness of the intermediate coupling member in a railcar longitudinal direction being lower than the stiffness of the intermediate coupling member in a vertical direction.
