Abstract

A rail vehicle has a carbody shell having an end wall and a usable space. The end wall includes a doorway for providing access to the usable space, and at least two footplate catchers for preventing a set of footplates arranged adjacent to the footplate catcher from entering the usable space, such as in an event of a crash.
