railway carriage
Rolling stock compartment
A railway carriage is a passenger vehicle on a train, the British term for what Americans call a railroad car or coach.
The word emphasizes the carriage as a conveyance for people rather than freight: We found seats in an empty railway carriage.
The term appears in British literature and formal contexts.
