Abstract:
The Arctic zone of the Russian Federation is one of the most intensively developing regions of the country. Amongst the major domains of economic and industrial growth and improvement is transport infrastructure and particularly the railway network. This area is being exposed to negative factors of rapid climate change that can significantly affect and compromise this activity. Thus, it is vital to take them into account during design, construction, and operation of the railway infrastructure facilities. This work details the production of a digital atlas comprising the 1950–2021 dynamics of t

Abstract:
The Qinghai-Tibet corridor includes road and railway in the highland area, characterized as the highest altitude, longest route and various sensitive ecosystems. Quantitative analysis of ecological effects along the Qinghai-Tibet corridor is critical to understand the impact of different traffic infrastructure on global hotpot of biodiversity maintenance. In this study, the Golmud-Lhasa national highway, railway and expressway were selected to analyse the impact of buffer zone and the pattern of landscape, thereby clarify the land use change, vegetation dynamics and landscape change.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of different human activities on water quality and benthos composition in the Ošetnice Stream that is located in the Western Carpathian Mountains. During the whole period of our monitoring, the high concentrations of dissolved oxygen and low content of organic matters were determined. Upstream part of the Ošetnice Stream is affected by long term building activities concerning railway tunnels and by the motorway along the stream that is in winter chemically treated to assure negotiability.

Abstract:
The history of Kenya is closely linked to the history of the railways. Although the reasons for the construction of this line were varied, one result of its construction was the rapid socio-economic development of Kenya which followed its completion in 1901. The railway's role in the socio-economic development of Kenya was perhaps best summed up by Sir Edward Grigg, the Governor of Kenya, in a speech to mark the official opening of the Uganda extension when he remarked:The results of this railway project of thirty years ago have exceeded the wildest dreams of its originators.

An iron snake in a highland forest: Olha Kobylianska’s The BattleThe article is devoted to Olha Kobylianska’s story The Battle 1895, which focuses on the introduction of railways into the Carpathian landscape Bukovina. While in metropolitan areas and economically advanced regions of Europe railways became a “natural” element of the landscape at the turn of the 20th century, in distant mountain regions railways constituted an alien and invasive element. In the main part of the article the author examines the motif of the opposition between nature and civilisation. In addition, the author explor

Abstract:
A late-comer to the region, the West Highland railway was presented as a “landowners’ line”, emulating the successful schemes of earlier date which genuinely merit this description. Speculation, inter-company rivalry and the prospect of government assistance were the main ingredients of the West Highland project; but a proprietors’ coalition was an essential precondition and estate factors were necessarily involved – as instigators, advisers or parliamentary witnesses. The immediate record of promotion, construction and early operation is rich and there is a wider context of “railway politics”

Ruiz played with the visual distinction between the arid highlands of Bolivia and the tropical lowlands. His camera followed the lives of fictional characters whose migrations through unfamiliar landscapes would overcome profound regional differences and unify a fractured national body. Sh

Abstract:
The Up-Country Railway in Sri Lanka, essential for connecting the central highlands, is increasingly threatened by slope failures that endanger both infrastructure and passenger safety. These failures are suspected to be exacerbated by train-induced vibrations, particularly in areas where maintenance is inadequate. The combination of heavy rainfall and vibrations can destabilize slopes, leading to frequent collapses. This research aims to explore the relationship between train vibrations and slope stability along the Up-Country Railway, providing insights that could guide improved maintenance
