Abstract
A railway or tramway track includes track rails arranged on a foundation surface. Noise and vibration reduction elements are arranged between the track rails and outward of the track rails. The noise and vibration reduction elements include at least one non-humic layer that absorbs water, reduces rate of flow and outflow of the water, and allows evaporation of the water.

A railway or tramway track, comprising:
- track rails arranged on a foundation surface;
- noise and vibration reduction elements arranged between the track rails and outward of the track rails;
- the noise and vibration reduction elements comprising at least one non-humic layer that absorbs water, reduces rate of flow and outflow of the water, and allows evaporation of the water, the non-humic layer comprising clumps of synthetic material or an agglomerate of inert porous material formed into one or more plate structures that both absorb and pass water therethrough;
- wherein the non-humic layer is a part of inner components inserted between the track rails and outer components arranged along both outer sides of the track rails, or retention plates inserted between the track rails and along at least one outer side of the track rails;
- and
- further comprising prefabricated dividing components abutting against the noise and vibration reduction elements along the outer sides of the track rails to separate the noise and vibration reduction elements from surrounding areas.
