Abstract. In accordance with the order of the Deputy General Director of JSC «RZD» G. Verkhovykh, the Bureau together with the specialists of the Central Directorate of infrastructure and the far Eastern railway developed several options for the organization of work and presented the technology of reconstruction of the railway track on the island of Sakhalin from the gauge of 1067 mm to the gauge of 1520 mm, which was approved at a special meeting by the first Deputy General Director of JSC «RZD» A. Krasnoshchek.

Abstract. The article presents an analysis of the design standards of steel superstructures of 1896—1931. On the basis of comparison of the standard time loadings accepted in the specified period, the allowed stresses and dynamic coefficients the comparative assessment of loading capacity of superstructures of the specified design standards is given. Analysis of the load capacity of steel span structures is based on the conditions of strength of the elements of the main trusses and beams of the roadway adopted in the Manual for determining the load capacity of metal span structures of railway bridges, for which the theoretical values of the areas or moments of inertia of these elements are determined.

As a result, the proposed method of expert assessment of the carrying capacity of the operated steel superstructures. This technique can be used for a comparative assessment of the carrying capacity of span structures and the development of a common approach to the content, strengthening and replacement of span structures of different design standards; identify the weakest elements in the span structures of certain design standards in order to establish control during operation. The estimation of the load capacity of the elements of spans of different lengths of various design standards is given.

On the basis of comparative analysis, it is shown that the load capacity of span structures without significant defects and designed according to the norms of 1907 and later exceeds the load class of bridges of the second category of load capacity. The bearing capacity of span structures designed according to the norms of 1896 can correspond to the load capacity of bridges of the third, fourth or fifth category.

Abstract. The article presents the description and characteristics of the light type track machines to perform work on the content of the permanent way, in particular, cleaning the upper part of sleepers from excess ballast and weeds.

The machines are made based on industrial tractors with a combined stroke. The advantages of this type of machines over machines on the railway track only are briefly shown.

Abstract. The impact of noise on the population of a residential area close to the railways is considered. The data of acoustic characteristics of trains are evaluated and analyzed. The processes of formation of noise of trains of various categories are considered. The classification of railway lines by noise levels is given, the size of the sanitary zone is estimated.

Ways of reducing railway noise at the source and on the way of its propagation are investigated, a complex of noise protection measures is proposed depending on the category of the railway line.

Abstract. One of main forming deficiencies of a road bed on the railroads located in mountain regions are rocky and landslide sites which significantly influence train service safety. Work of a way provides application of various protection structures in such conditions. As a result of calculation of coefficient of stability of slopes it is recommended to apply a protective coating of slopes (slopes) of rocky and landslide sites cover grids in addition to the existing designs of passive protection. Problems of inspection and diagnostics of rocky and landslide sites are designated and the main ways and actions for their decision are planned.
