A railway wagon (1) comprising a load carrier (2), and front and rear bogies (3, 4), wherein each bogie comprises a platform (5, 6), which is rotatably mounted. The load carrier is releasably connected to, and laterally displaceable in relation to, the platforms. The load carrier has a front end and a rear end (7, 8) and is provided, at each end, with a connection portion (15, 16), and two support devices (30, 31), which are laterally spaced, and which support the load carrier in a position where it is laterally displaced in relation to the platform. The support devices are vertically operable between an idle position and a support position, in which the support devices abut against the ground. Further, the railway wagon comprises a displacement device for laterally displacing the load carrier. The displacement device comprises a reciprocating launch device (23), which is arranged to reciprocate laterally of the platform, a launch device connection mechanism, for releasably connecting the connection portion with the launch device, and a platform connection mechanism (25) for releasably connecting the connection portion with the platform.
