Once upon a time, a colleague told me about this project. According to him, it turned out that all the employees of the road were children and this was very cheerful and celebratory event. It seemed to me something like a cartoon about the pioneers :)
Children's Railway (Children's Railway) is indeed a very interesting project, but the style is completely different.
In Russia, there is a company called RZD, which is engaged in rail transportation and the maintenance of the railway system itself. On the railway people work - drivers, linemen, conductors, technicians, various management. And also, of course, accountants, security guards, cooks and so on. Some people (for example, cooks) are universal employees. Such a person could work in a bank, then in a factory canteen, then at a railway station. And some people are obviously graduates specialized agencies- for example, technical schools of railway transport. And at least part of the children's railways are projects designed to give students the experience of participating in the operation of a real railway.
The Novosibirsk road is three stations and several trains. But everything technological processes are presented there. Engineers, conductors, cashiers, linemen, and so on are working quite seriously on this "model" of the railway.
It turns out that the Novosibirsk Children's Railway is by no means the only one - in different time in the USSR there were more than 70 such roads. Some are still working. different roads very different in organization: somewhere it’s a trifle like an attraction with wagons, somewhere, in fact, adults work on the road. The site says that there are roads where children aged 9-15 work. At the Novosibirsk Children's Railway, half of the employees are adults, half of the boys and girls of about 20 years old are students of a technical school.
The Novosibirsk ChRW has very beautiful stations and waiting rooms.
The entire branch consists of three stations and two sidings, which are located in the north of the city, in the Zaeltsovsky recreation park. One of the stations is located at the entrance to the park, the second goes to the far part of the zoo.
Trains leave in both directions every hour. Travel time is about 40 minutes.
On the platform at the zoo, the cashier was a young girl:
The guards, machinists and linemen were adults. One young man was a conductor, one girl was a conductor and a senior train. (When asked "it's already later than the departure time, when will we go" she ran to ask the drivers. The whole train has three cars, it was not long).
According to the poster at the zoo, Tuesday is a public holiday. In fact, the road worked. No one answered the phones, it was impossible to clarify. We went to the road by chance, about the fact that it still works, the fifth-graders told about the fact that they were guided to ride.
We were on the last train, so all the station staff left in our car.
(Only one car out of three is open, everyone is in it).
It was very interesting - the conductors really famously ran around the cars and talked with passengers and colleagues.
The cashier told the security guard about the proceeds :). I estimated that about 50 people used the road in a day.
Then there was a fuss about whether the cashier had been turned off.
At some point, the head of the train was filling out paperwork and asked the cashier to be more legible in filling out tickets. She snapped, "I have a queue, but I will write out or what?".
My very first impression of the road was like an expensive toy. But the more I looked at the process, the more I admired its benefits for learning. Let this be a model, but quite real processes arise and work out on it. It turns out that a student can live in his city, study, but have several completely real work shifts per month. It's a great experience.

Here is the document: a request from the head of the Children's Railway to the head of the Novosibirsk Technical School of Railway Transport with a request to allocate and distribute 16 students by the days of August 2005 to service the road.
Being small, the road, however, raises quite specific questions: who to send, how to settle schedules, how to replace sick people, how to pay, when to teach, how to resolve disputes.
:))
Physically speaking, the project is huge. We walked from Sportivnaya to Zaeltsovskaya along the embankment.
Huge embankment, rails, stations - no small building project.

Railway lineage
Dynasty. The word is something solid, stable. Reliable. On the railroad, dynasties are not uncommon. But such a large one as the Tsvetkov dynasty - perhaps you will not meet. Five generations of railway workers are 28 people whose total work experience on the railway is more than 740 years!
The ancestor of this glorious family is Andrey Stepanovich Tsvetkov. He worked as a switchman at the beginning of the last century. He and his wife Praskovya Alekseevna had four children - sons Andrei, Anatoly, Nikolai and daughter Nadezhda. The railway became significant in the fate of each of them to one degree or another. The eldest son, Andrey Andreevich Tsvetkov, followed in the footsteps of his father - he became a mover. He started as a telegraph operator at the Danilov station, then was on duty at the station, head of the station. Then for many years he worked as a train dispatcher of the Cherepovets section. For 30 years devoted to work at his native Vologda branch, Andrey Tsvetkov was awarded the Order of Lenin, the badge "Excellent mover". His wife, Maria Nikolaevna, also worked all her life on the railway as a telegraph operator. Therefore, there was nothing surprising in the fact that the three Tsvetkovs, the younger ones, also decided to link their fate with the steel line. True, they became locomotives. The brothers Oleg Andreevich and Igor Andreevich worked for many years as locomotive drivers, the younger sister, Vera Andreevna, worked as a turner in the locomotive depot. Perhaps they were influenced by the example of their uncle, the famous engine driver Nikolai Andreevich Tsvetkov. A front-line soldier, the first driver-instructor of the Komsomol-youth column on the Northern Road, “an excellent locomotive”, Nikolai Andreevich not only devoted his whole life to working on steam locomotives and diesel locomotives, but also “infected” his three sons and nephews with his love. The youngest son of Nikolai Tsvetkov, Viktor Nikolaevich, recalls: “My brothers Ivan and Sergey and I always dreamed of becoming machinists, like my father. He took us on trips from the very early years. It's so interesting - you ride in the dark, ahead of the lights, rails, and you imagine how you grow up and drive a big train. Each locomotive had its own whistle - we immediately recognized our father's. Mom, Anna Ivanovna, set the dinner to heat and boil water - my father returned from a trip black, like a miner, only his teeth and eyes were shining. Anna Ivanovna Tsvetkova also worked on the railroad - first in the NGCH, and then in the locomotive depot. Ivan Nikolaevich, the eldest son of the Tsvetkovs, followed in his father's footsteps, became a famous machinist, just like Nikolai Andreevich, he led the Komsomol-youth convoy of freight trains. For his work he was awarded the Order of the Badge of Honor. Ivan Nikolayevich and found a wife to match - from the railway dynasty. They lived together, well. The daughter was raised. Unfortunately, Ivan Tsvetkov passed away two years ago. The widow of Ivan Nikolaevich, Valentina Sergeevna, still works as a duty officer at the Vologda-1 station.
The middle son of Nikolai Tsvetkov, Sergey Nikolaevich, worked as a machinist in PMS-113, now he is on a well-deserved rest. The youngest, Viktor Nikolaevich, did not pass the medical examination as a machinist due to his health, but he still became a railway worker - he still works as an electrician in the Vologda repair depot. Side by side with her husband works in the depot and his wife, Zinaida Alexandrovna. So the Tsvetkov dynasty continues. Already the fourth generation is working on the Northern Road. Two daughters of Viktor Nikolaevich also work in the locomotive industry - Nadezhda, a technician-decoder of speed tapes, Anna, a work distributor. But that's not all. The huge Tsvetkov family has two more branches - the daughters of the founder of the dynasty Nadezhda Andreevna and her brother, Anatoly Andreevich. The children of Nadezhda Andreevna - Lev Nikolaevich Kuznetsov and Vera Nikolaevna Vedeneeva continued the work of their grandfather, came to work on the railway. Leo became a machinist, and his daughter Vera became a nurse in a railway hospital. And they chose spouses to match - Alla Nikolaevna Kuznetsova worked for many years in the road department, and Adrian Nikolaevich Vedeneev took a worthy place among the drivers. And the son of the Kuznetsovs, Evgeny, also became a railway worker. But Galina Anatolyevna Tsvetkova (Bersneva) chose an unusual railway profession for herself - she became an announcer at the station, for 15 years she announced to passengers about the arrival and departure of trains in a well-trained voice ... Her sister Lyudmila with her own railway life did not connect, but, apparently, she passed on love for her in the genes - the grandson of Lyudmila Anatolyevna, Vladislav, a representative of the fifth generation of the Tsvetkov dynasty, also became a railway worker - he has been working as an assistant locomotive driver in the Lost locomotive depot for just a year. His relative, Oleg Olegovich Tsvetkov, the grandson of Andrey Andreevich, has been working there for 25 years as a machinist. So, the story of one family with the history of the Northern Railway is intertwined, bizarrely untwisted. Now eight representatives of the glorious dynasty are working in various enterprises of the Vologda Knot. And a new generation is on the way. The youngest great-great-grandson of Andrei Stepanovich Tsvetkov is 2 years old. He was named after his great-grandfather Nikolai Andreevich. Maybe he will also become a famous machinist, like great-grandfather ...

A STATION is a place on the railway where the process of transportation begins and ends, trains are formed and disbanded.
At the stations, there is a direct connection between the railways and passengers and industrial enterprises.
Large stations have a large branched network of tracks for receiving and departing passenger and freight trains, performing maneuvers for compiling trains, disbanding them, and supplying wagons for loading and unloading. They are equipped with the most sophisticated technology that allows you to automatically switch points, change signals, and slow down cars during maneuvers. It is impossible to imagine a station today without electronic computers, without displays for transmitting and receiving information about trains. The operation of the station requires good technical knowledge from the workers. The organization and management of the work is carried out by specialists in the operation of railways.
The general management of the work of the station is carried out by the HEAD OF THE STATION, and the operational management is carried out by the DUTY OF THE STATION.
THE STATION MANAGER organizes the work railway station and the interaction of all departments for the implementation of passenger, cargo and train work, ensuring the safety of transportation, the safety of goods and rolling stock and the efficient use of technical means.
The STATION OFFICER issues commands and orders for the reception and departure of trains. All employees located on the territory of the station are subordinate to him - train compilers, operators on duty at turnout posts, locomotive drivers, employees of track distances, signaling and communications, wagon sections, power supply sections, etc.
Dispatchers, linemen, cashiers, cleaners, doctors, economists, lawyers and even environmentalists, security guards, transport police and many others work at the station.
The most stressful job on the railway is the work of the DISPATCHER. This work requires great responsibility, great effort and dedication. Dispatchers are responsible for the movement of several trains on a certain section of the road.
In 1915, a dispatcher's manual was introduced on the Russian railways. Prior to this, the movement of trains was controlled with the help of special signaling by people who stood along the railway track at certain intervals. Starting from 1925, the dispatching system was first introduced on the Oktyabrskaya railway, and by 1934 it was already operating on the entire Russian road network. Now the work of the dispatcher is facilitated by a large number specialized equipment (system "auto-dispatcher").
One of the most responsible professions at the station is the TICKET CASHIER. This profession requires from people not only professional knowledge and skills, but also great endurance and tact, attentive attitude to each person. A knowledge of psychology is also very important here. The way the cashier serves the passenger depends on what opinion is formed about the work of the station or the station as a whole.
According to statistics, the share of railway transport in Russia accounts for more than 40% of passenger traffic and about 80% of the country's total freight traffic. In some cases, rail communication is perhaps the only way to get from one point to another. And this means that Russian railways are playing key role in the implementation of cargo and passenger transportation, and railway workers in maintaining the efficiency of railways.
According to statistics, the share of railway transport in Russia accounts for more than 40% of passenger traffic and about 80% of the country's total freight traffic. In some cases, railway communication is perhaps the only way to get from one point of our vast Motherland to another. And this means that Russian railways play a key role in the implementation of freight and passenger transportation, and representatives railroad professions- Maintaining the health of the railways.
We note right away that not only the condition of the railway track and rolling stock, but also the safety of passengers depends on the professionalism and skill level of railway workers. Therefore, it is necessary to choose this profession only for those who are ready to perform their work qualitatively, despite all its features and shortcomings. But about what "pitfalls" can be found on professional path railwayman, we will tell in the framework of this article.
Who is a railroad worker?
- a generalized name for various specialists and representatives of working professions, one way or another related to railway transport, and ensuring the efficient operation of the railway infrastructure.
The name of the profession comes from a stable combination of the words "railway" (that is, a road paved with iron), which is commonly called an integrated transport enterprise that has everything technical means allowing transportation of passengers and goods. The first railroad workers appeared simultaneously with the invention of the steam locomotive and the appearance of the first public railways. The formation of the profession in Russia became possible in 1837, when the country's first railway, 27 kilometers long, was built between St. Petersburg and Tsarskoye Selo. By the way, in terms of the length of the railway track, Russia today ranks second in the world (the first place belongs to the United States).
It is generally accepted that only the conductor and the locomotive driver are related to the profession of a railway worker. In fact, this profession has much more narrow specializations: this is the head of the train, and the station attendant, and the lineman, and the train dispatcher, and the electrician of the signaling system (signaling, centralization and blocking devices), and builders laying railway tracks, and employee of the Russian Railways.
It's not hard to guess that railroad duties entirely dependent on the line of business. For example, the locomotive driver and conductor ensure the safety and comfort of transportation, keep the rolling stock clean, adhere to the schedule and route. The lineman is responsible for the condition of the railway track, and the train dispatcher manages the movement of trains within his section. But in any case, every railway worker is obliged to make every effort to ensure that rail transportation is safe and that trains arrive strictly on schedule.
What personal qualities should a railroad worker have?
Since from railroad work depends on the safety of a large number of people or the safety of a large amount of cargo, representatives of this profession, first of all, must have such personal qualities as attentiveness, responsibility and accuracy. In addition, most specialties of this profession are characterized by:
Endurance and endurance are very important in the work of a railway worker. good health. It also cannot be said about professional knowledge and skills, including special attention deserve: physics, plumbing, a system of special signals used on the railway, design features heat or electric locomotives, their components and wagons, safety requirements, computer skills and much, much more.
Benefits of being a railroad worker
Taking into account the fact that the length of Russian railways is about 85 thousand kilometers, and RZD is the largest employer in Russia (as of the end of 2013, more than 880 thousand people were employed by RZD), we can safely say that the main advantage of the railroad profession is demand. After all, the railway in Russia, as before, continues to develop actively, and to service the increasing cargo and passenger traffic every year, more and more is required. large quantity qualified specialists.
The importance and significance of the work of railway workers is understood not only in society, which treats the "lords" of the railways with due reverence, but also at the government level. This understanding manifests itself in the form of a quite decent level of salaries (the average monthly salary of a railway worker in Russia is about 40-50 thousand rubles, plus allowances for high-quality and productive work), and various benefits (including vouchers to sanatoriums and free travel on electric trains).
It should be noted that some specialties of the profession (for example, a conductor or a railway ticket office worker), in addition to the official salary, have great opportunities for additional earnings(not entirely honest, but still). The Russians are well aware that for a certain fee you can transfer a parcel with a conductor, and the financial gratitude of the passenger to the most magically helps the cashier to find tickets even for those trains that seem to have no seats already.
Disadvantages of being a railroad worker
But one should not think that railroad workers are paid high salaries for "beautiful eyes." If we consider everything disadvantages of the railway profession, then you can understand that the salary is not so high. Of course, it is impossible to list all the shortcomings of each of the specialties of the railway worker within the framework of one article. Therefore, we will list only the main ones, characteristic of most of them.
- Firstly, the responsibility for the life and health of passengers: for example, the absence of even one connecting part in the rails can cause a catastrophe and a huge number of victims, and the non-compliance of the car with sanitary standards can lead to a mass illness of passengers.
- Secondly, difficult working conditions: railway workers work in all weather and climatic conditions day and night, holidays and weekends.
- Thirdly, it is very difficult to enter railway educational institutions in order to become a qualified specialist. Not only do applicants have to "overcome" a big competition, they also have to fight for the right to enter with hereditary railway workers (which, you see, gives the latter clear advantages).
Where can you get a job as a railroad worker?
Become a railroad worker can be in any educational institution in Russia (regardless of the level of accreditation), which specializes in the training of qualified railway workers. Choice same educational institution It entirely depends on what specialty you want to master. For example, to become a specialist in traffic safety and operation of railway transport or railway power supply, you need to choose one of leading railway universities of Russia, the TOP-5 of which is as follows:
- Saint Petersburg State University means of communication;
- Moscow State University of Communications;
- Trans-Baikal Institute of Railway Transport of the Irkutsk State University of Communications;
- Far Eastern State University of Communications;
- Irkutsk Institute of Railway Engineers.
If you are seduced by the romance of the work of a conductor or a locomotive driver, then one of the the best railway technical schools or colleges in Russia, which include:
- St. Petersburg College of Railway Transport;
- St. Petersburg Electromechanical College of Railway Transport;
- Ryazan College of Railway Transport;
- Moscow College of Railway Transport;
- Nizhny Novgorod College of Railway Transport.
