To provide articulated rolling stocks having a barrier-free low-floor part while utilizing existing rolling stock bodies, trucks and an articulation structure as many as possible.
A low-floor type rolling stock C (an intermediate rolling stock) is inserted between a high-floor type rolling stock A (a leading rolling stock) and a rolling stock B (a trailing rolling stock). The rolling stocks A and C, and the rolling stocks B and C are respectively articulated via accessory trucks 10 and 24 having no motors. Therefore, an articulated structure between the conventional rolling stock A and rolling stock B can be used between the rolling stocks A and C, and the rolling stocks B and C. In other words, a truck frame structure of a trailing end part of the rolling stock C is the same as that of a trailing end part of the rolling stock A, and a truck frame structure of a leading part of the rolling stock C is the same as that of a leading part of the rolling stock B.
