Abstract: Railway lines are a permanent element of wildlife habitats and usually do not have a large impact on animals functioning in their natural environment. Sometimes, however, when an animal finds itself on the tracks while a train passes, they pose a deadly danger. The article presents the causes of wild animal – train collisions resulting from how the senses and psyche of animals function and how they perceive railway lines. Keywords: Railway lines; Environmental impact; Wildlife; Wild animal – train collisions
