This study presents the analysis of avalanche formation factors at the Krasnoyarsk Railway, was used as an example. The areas with similar conditions for snow avalanches formation and its impact on railway infra-structural facilities have been distinguished. We found physic-geographical conditions for avalanche hazard outbreak. Diagrams of the distribution of the number of avalanches and the volume of avalanches by year, the number of avalanches by month and by time of day; and the probability of avalanches on one of the most characteristic avalanche-prone sections of railways are presented. We also analyzed the operating efficiency of existent avalanche baffle and snow-holding structures works. As a result of the analysis of the experience of operating avalanche-prone sections of railways and highways, it was found that snow-holding structures should be considered the most effective means in view of their low cost of construction and operation, and a high degree of environmental safety.
