Abstract

Not only railway operation and environmental pollution, but also mechanical impacts such as tamping contribute to the degradation of railway track ballast layers. An extensive literature review is carried out in this study investigating to what extent mechanical impacts contribute to ballast pollution. The aim is to derive further research requirements should this prove to be necessary.
