Abstract:
A railcar end unit is operable to be mounted in a center sill between buff and draft sill stops. The buff and draft end bodies are configured to be shiftably mounted relative to the center sill to engage the respective sill stops and to shift axially relative to one another along a unit axis. The end unit includes a buff spring pack operably mounted between the end bodies and compressible along the unit axis from a neutral condition to a compressed condition.

Abstract:
The spring assembly has an axis and is adapted to take up and exert a force in the direction of said axis. The spring assembly comprises resilient rings which are axially stacked in alternation with rigid rings. The rigid rings are formed with peripheral sliding surfaces which have generatrices that are inclined to said axis. The resilient rings bear on said sliding surfaces. At least one of the resilient rings consists of a coiled spring which has at least two convolutions.

Abstract:
The invention provides a railway car body that causes less noise and that can be manufactured easily. The railway car comprises a subframe 40 disposed below a floor of the car body with a clearance therebetween, and a bogie 30 disposed below the subframe 40 with a clearance therebetween, wherein car body 10 and subframe 40 are connected via a center pin 50 protruding downward from car body 10, and subframe 40 and bogie 30 are connected via a second center pin 70 protruding upward from the bogie. The lower end of the second center pin 70 is connected to the bogie 30 via a coupling link 110.
