A railcar damping device includes: a tank storing a liquid; a first opening/closing valve provided in a first passage connecting a rod side chamber and a piston side chamber, which are defined by a piston, to be capable of opening and closing the first passage; a second opening/closing valve provided in a second passage connecting the piston side chamber and the tank to be capable of opening and closing the second passage; a pump that is driven to rotate at a predetermined normal rotation speed in order to supply the liquid from the tank to the rod side chamber; and a temperature determination unit that determines a temperature of the liquid supplied to the actuator, wherein a rotation speed of the pump is reduced below a normal rotation speed when the temperature determination unit determines that the temperature of the liquid is lower than a predetermined temperature.
