Abstract
Abstract Railway sidings in the Slovak Republic, despite their reduction, still do not lose their importance. In railway transport, a significant part of the realised performances is represented by transport on railway sidings and there is therefore a need to continuously develop and adapt the siding operation to the requirements of the transport market. The reason for the decrease of their number is nowadays mainly the financial demands on the construction of the new siding and its operation. In view of this fact, there are sidings in several companies in the Slovak Republic where the transport performances do not decrease and the performances realised on their railway siding are considered as dominant and economically advantageous. The aim of this paper is based on the analysis of the current state of the siding operation in the selected company in order to solve the problem with insufficient capacity of the siding due to the increase in the volume of processed materials. The problem with the capacity of the analysed siding will be solved through construction-reconstruction measures - namely by construction of a new handling track. This option is a solution to the problem of an insufficient capacity of the siding, which affects the current transport performances and costs of railway wagons staying at stations, too. The proposed measures to support the increase of a siding capacity will be economically evaluated and the pay-back period of these solutions will be assessed.

The aim of this paper is to propose such measures which will be in accordance with requirements put on an increased capacity of railway sidings for specific operators, and at the same these measures will serve for the support of railway transport in terms of an ecologically more favourable mode of transport
