1. A brake lining for a railway vehicle, comprising:
a mounting plate;
a plurality of sliding members arranged in a transverse direction and a longitudinal direction of the mounting plate on one surface of the mounting plate to form a plurality of transverse rows and a plurality of longitudinal rows; and
a plurality of elastic members provided in correspondence with the plurality of sliding members, the elastic members each being disposed between a corresponding sliding member and the mounting plate;
wherein:
between the transverse rows that are adjacent, a first gap exists over an entire length of the transverse rows;
between the longitudinal rows that are adjacent, a second gap having a width that is smaller than a width of the first gap exists over an entire length of the longitudinal rows:
a plurality of transverse gaps are provided between the respective sliding members that are adjacent in the transverse direction, the transverse gaps having a constant width; and
a plurality of longitudinal gaps are provided between the respective sliding members that are adjacent in the longitudinal direction, the longitudinal gaps having a constant width.
