The paper deals with the issue of the statistic evaluation of the generation of occurrences on the railway registered in the official database of occurrences administrated by the Railway Infrastructure Administration. The paper addresses the partial part of the research project, which is in the principle focused on the evaluation of socio-economic benefits of projects of the railway infrastructure connected with the increase of the safety and the reliability of the railway. From the methodological point of view the paper is based on the detailed analysis of the database of occurrences, which is for the statistical purposes administrated by the Railway Infrastructure Administration. Occurrences are for the purposes of the registration in the database classified into groups and sub-groups according to the character of their generation. The analysis is focused mainly on the frequency of particular kinds of occurrences (kinds of occurrences are methodologically described and classified) and their impacts on the operator, owner of the infrastructure, passengers and the society as a whole. Impacts are considered as financial costs connected with the material damage on the property of various owners and as socio-economic benefits and costs in the sense of the CBA (costs connected with the damage to health, costs connected with the time delays, costs connected with the damage of the environment). The output of the research introduced in the paper is the overview of the most important occurrences including the description of their key characteristics influencing their impact on the society. The results of the research presented within the paper will be in next steps used for the purposes of the evaluation of thesocio-economic impacts of occurrences on the society, whichwill be consequently included into the economic evaluation of the projects of the railway infrastructure.
