| 摘要 | A novel door structure (20, 20a) is provided for each end (26, 28) of a railcar (24) in an articulated train (22). The train (22) includes a plurality of railcars (24) which are coupled together and spaced apart from each other by a small distance. The door structure (20, 20a) can be easily opened and closed even though the railcars (24) in the train (22) are closely spaced together. A first embodiment of the novel door structure (20) includes first and second door members (58, 60), each of which have first and second panels (70, 72) that are hingedly connected together. The first panel (70) of each door member (58, 60) is foldable relative to the second panel (72) and the panels (70, 72) are movable to lie adjacent to a side wall (32) of the railcar (24). Structure (62, 64, 66, 68) is provided for connecting the door members (58, 60) to the sides (32) of the railcar (24) and for allowing the panels (70, 72) to rotate relative to the sides (32) of the railcar (24). A second embodiment of the novel door structure (20a) includes first and second door members (58a, 60a), wherein the first door member (58a) is positioned at an upper portion of the railcar end and is movable to a lower portion of the railcar end to open an upper portion of the railcar end, and the second door member (60a) is positioned at a lower portion of the railcar end and is movable to an upper portion of the railcar end to open a lower portion of the railcar end. | ||||||
