This paper deals with the way of calculating the load-bearing capacity of masonry arch railway bridges. It reviews the basic aspects of structural behaviour of these bridges, such as material non-linearity of masonry and interaction with the soil. Paper shows, how to include second order analysis in the calculation, because in some cases it might have non-negligible influence. It reminds the requirements of standards and shows, how to calculate the load-bearing capacity in accordance with these requirements with influence of mentioned non-linearities.
