PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate maintenance and inspection and improve passing performance of a railroad vehicle on a curved part of rails, by reducing a lateral pressure during power running and passing of the railroad vehicle on the curved part of the rails and suppressing abrasion of the rails and wheels. SOLUTION: The articulated railroad vehicle is equipped with air cylinder devices (actuators) 12A, 12B wherein the end parts of a front side vehicle 3 with a carriage (drive vehicle) and a vehicle 6 without the carriage (vehicle to be towed) are horizontally swivelably link-connected by a pivot shaft 9b, provided between the front side vehicle 3 with the carriage and the vehicle without the carriage, and the front side vehicle 3 with the carriage is swiveled around the pivot shaft 9b relative to the vehicle 6 without the carriage, a carriage yaw angle sensor for detecting a carriage yaw angle generated between the vehicle body 3a and the carriage in a curved line power running of the front side vehicle with the carriage, and a controller which operates the air cylinder devices 12A, 12B based on a reverse carriage yaw angle detected by the carriage yaw angle sensor and adjusts the yaw angleαof the front vehicle 3 with the carriage relative to the vehicle 6 without the carriage to the reducing direction.
