Abstract. In Russian legal science, little attention is paid to the issue of the relationship between environmental and transport law, but the Russian railways in the current situation are the “locomotive” for the legal protection of atmospheric air. Based on this, we see that it is the rail mode of transport in Russia that was the first to pursue a long-term environmental and legal policy. At the same time, rolling stock and stationary sources continue to emit pollutants in an amount with which further development is impossible. There is a problem of destruction of protective forest plantation. In this regard, in the modern legal system, it is necessary to clearly distinguish legal liability between Russian Railways and the state and municipal authorities in the framework of monitoring protective forest plantation and atmospheric air.

Keywords: railway sphere; legal protection of atmospheric air; legal protection of the environment; atmospheric air; freight transportation.
