This paper presents an analysis of the problem of accumulation of steam locomotive ashes and slags, which are wastes of past economic activity of railway transport. It is shown that for more than 100 years of operation of steam locomotives on the territory of Russia, a significant amount of slag waste has been accumulated, the dumps of which are objects of accumulated harm to the environment. The absence of data on the volume of accumulation of steam locomotive slags and the lack of information about them in the list of the Federal Classification Catalog of Waste were revealed. Environmental risks in the territories adjacent to the dumps have been established, and it is also noted that the accumulation of locomotive ash and slag causes a deterioration in the sanitary condition of the territories, a decrease in the productivity of agricultural land and has a negative impact on human health. It is shown that an effective way to restore disturbed lands is the elimination of dumps and the subsequent conduct of forestry and agrotechnical measures.
