Abstract. The current paper has considered the integration of engineering and technical knowledge with jurisprudence in the context of criminal investigations under Article 263 of the Russian Criminal Code. The application of specialized knowledge in law enforcement will help avoid errors in the investigation of specific criminal cases, contribute not only to the protection of rights and freedoms, but also enforce national security for the real sector of the economy. Most railway transport examinations are commissioned by the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for Transport in criminal cases initiated under Article 263 of the Russian Criminal Code (violation of traffic safety regulations and the operation of rail, air, sea, inland waterway transport, and the underground). However, any methods or techniques, other than calculating a train’s braking distance, are absent in forensic practice. Scientific development of methods in railway transport forensics are of great importance and relevance.

Keywords: criminal proceeding; criminal law; railway transport examinations; expert methods; law enforcement.
