Abstract (en)

The invention provides a thin footplate of superior quality while suppressing noise caused by the footplate. A footplate (10) is formed by connecting extruded shape members (110) arranged in parallel along the width direction (Y) of a railway car by a pipe (80), with the upper surface of the extruded shape members (110) used as the walking surface. Adjacent extruded shape members (110) contact each other via bushings (90). Both ends of the pipe (80) are pulled via draft springs (50) and (50) disposed in V-shape onto the underframe. A slip stopper (120) is adhered to the upper surface of the extruded shape members (110). Bottom surfaces of the extruded shape members contact the upper surface of the underframe via sliding members (70). When the railway car passes a curve or the like that causes relative displacement of the cars, the footplate (10) is slid easily. When one of the railway cars is subjected to rolling, each extruded shape member gradually rotates (rolls) along the width direction of the railway car so that crews and the like can easily walk on the footplate.
