A buffer for a subway rail comprises equipment for buffering and reducing shake. The equipment comprises a positioning plate fixedly connected into a base, a moving opening is formed in the positioning plate, a buckling block is movably connected into the moving opening, a buckling strip is fixedly connected to the upper end of the buckling block, and an assembling block is fixedly connected to the upper end of the buckling strip. Stabilizing equipment comprises positioning blocks fixedly connected to the two sides of the upper end of the assembling block, adjusting openings are formed in thepositioning blocks, screws used for adjusting are connected into the adjusting openings in a screwed mode, and one end of the screw used for adjusting is fixedly connected with a moving block. In combination with other structures, the defects that in the prior art, vertical and horizontal shake caused by high-speed operation of subway wheels can damage the interior and exterior of a rail, the service life of track is reduced, rivets and rivet holes used for stabilizing wheels shake, so that the tracks shake, running of the wheels is not facilitated, the specifications of the tracks are still different, and targeted stabilizing equipment does not exist are overcome.
