Abstract 

Railway facilities are usually defined as stationary engineering structures that constantly influence environment. Railway stations are main contaminators in railroad sector. Usually contaminated surface run-off coming from railroad tracks of railway stations is the result of atmospheric precipitation. Surface run-off flows through surface relief deep into the soils. Then it joins ground flows and enter the nearest surface waterbodies. The paper gives analysis of surface run-off filtration through multi-layer porous medium in ballast section of railroad tracks. The authors describe liquid behaviour and properties in multi-layer porous medium. The particular attention is paid to liquid which concentrates on the surface of railroad tracks ballast section as a result of atmospheric precipitation. The paper also considers stationary and non-stationary liquid weepage into railroad tracks ballast section and spilled petroleum products spreading.

Keywords
