“…Railways play a deterministic role in the economy, society, and strategic defense duties. Such systems are called as large natural-technogenic system [1]. It is a man-made (-genic) technical/technological (techno) system based in the natural (ground-soil, water-rivers) environment.…”

Railway system as part of the general transportation system is a strategic element that supports the economy and the society. Its role is continuously rising with rapid industrialization, urbanization, and changes in the society expectations regarding sustainable systems. New and emerging technologies call and permit the augmentation of the railway systems’ disaster management. This paper deals with the development of an improved response management concept related to railways’ damage, caused by earthquakes. The paper synthetizes the latest technologies, engineering, and management methods in one improved response management system. After the concept inspiration, the paper describes the applicable novel models and introduces an improved response management being developed for railway systems, damaged by earthquakes. The concept is verified in simulation. The novelty includes a new approach in the identification of the critical infrastructure, the risk assessment, the prediction of aftershocks and the recursive application of the adaptive Markov process to the simulation supporting the response management concept.

“…Successful operation and development of the railway transportation depend on the condition of natural complexes, resource endowment, infrastructure development of induced environment and socio-economic environment. Joint study of the rail transport facilities and natural complexes can be defined as railway natural-technogenic complex (RNTC) followed by formation and impact on the environment [2,21,22].…”

“…Whereas, environmental conditions when dealing with RNTC objects depend on infrastructure of railways construction, production, repair and exploitation of railway equipment, manufacturing facilities, penetration level of railway equipment and other object on the railways, penetration of scholarly results in the enterprises and branch objects. Suffice to say that in the Russian Federation railway transportation use up to 7% of fossil fuels, 6% of electricity and 4,5% of timber [2,5,11].…”

The paper aims to investigate objects located in railway natural industrial complexes, e.g. the Kuybyshevskaya Railway within the boundaries of Samara region. The authors analyse its following characteristic properties: geometric (proximity to water bodies); intercepted (crossings with bridges or waterbodies); watercut (proximity to subsurface water outlets and high groundwater); hilly-mountainous terrain (washouts and washaways); violation of surface (water drainage from the walls, washaways of flood-prone slopes). The researchers studied a schematic map of the Kuybyshevskaya Railway and came to the conclusion that there is a considerable number of railways crossings with water objects in Samara region, Ulyanovsk region and the Republic of Tatarstan. Some of these railways crossings are located in close proximity to waterbodies. The average value of the crossings is 0.549 km for every 1 km, i.e. approximately every 500 m railway tracks cross at least one water object. It means that there is a surface run-off coming from railroad tracks and near-by territories into a waterbody every 500 m. Systematic monitoring of water pollution is performed by a considerable number (up to 20) of gauging stations located within all railroad tracks in Samara region.
