The article provides an assessment of the impact of railway transport on the environment. The industry system includes stationary and mobile facilities. The assessment is carried out on the example of locomotive facilities of railway transport with all types of sources of pollution in order to consider the entire range of facilities. Locomotive facilities, being the main consumer of energy resources in the railway transport system, is, in view of this, one of the main environmental pollutants in the industry. Diesel locomotives, diesel trains, industrial-heating boiler houses, technological fuel-using plants are the main consumers of fuel and energy resources of the locomotive facilities. The production processes of the locomotive facilities are sources not only of chemical factors of environmental impact, but also have a significant physical impact on the environment, namely, they are sources of noise, vibration, electromagnetic radiation, etc. The article assesses the contribution of the locomotive facilities to the total amount of pollution from railway transport. An analysis of the emission structure was carried out and it was concluded that more than 80% of the emissions of the locomotive facilities come from its energy facilities. The actions proposed in the article will help rationalize the consumption of energy resources at railway locomotive facilities and reduce the negative impact on the environment and health of the population.
