The Association assists in the provision of services in the sale of timber: favorable prices on an ongoing basis. Timber products of excellent quality.
There is such a profession on the railway - the head of the station. Do you know what he does? Now I'll tell you.
The number of stations in Russia is huge. According to the volume and complexity of cargo (or passenger) operations, they are divided into classes: from the 5th to the out-of-class station. The higher the class, the smaller the station. Vneklassnaya is a large station with a large number of tracks, facilities and, as a result, with an extensive staff. The main task of the station chief is to organize the work of his station at a high level.
The degree of responsibility and the level of tasks performed by the chief (the railway abbreviation of this position - DS) just depends on the size of the station. One thing, Art. Ekaterinburg-Sorting with more than 70 tracks and a daily car turnover of 23 thousand units, and another - st. Peri with 4 tracks, through which a couple of dozen trains just pass a day.
In the view of some people, the boss (or DS) is a person who scatters orders, commands from his office between tea parties: he gave instructions in a loud voice, checked the execution, and so on. Meanwhile, I know from my own experience of working at the station that even the presence of deputies does not save the chief head of the station from daily stressful situations.
These are continuous reports to higher management, analysis of all problematic situations that arise at the station, as well as constant interaction with station customers (enterprises adjoining their railway access roads to the station tracks).
Of course, at the stations of the 5th or 4th class, the chief of problems is much less, in some cases he combines his work with the duties of a station duty officer. But even in such cases, the position obliges to ensure order at the station, to respond to endless telegrams, requests, orders from higher management. Plus, also maintaining / filling out various work logs, or monitoring their maintenance by subordinates.
Any auditor after checking, he goes to the station manager with a list of violations. The compiler of the trains violated, and the DS is also responsible. And here the leaders are divided into two types. Some are ready to stand up for their subordinates, even if they are guilty, in order to mitigate the punishment imposed by the auditor after the audit, while others, without even understanding the situation, give their employees “to be eaten up” by any audit.
Treat your subordinates with respect
I remember there was a case showing the whole essence of one boss. A young specialist worked at this station in the technical department. Normal, intelligent, adequate guy. I only know that he had a difficult relationship with one auditor. So, this auditor calls the head of the station where this guy worked, and asks someone to deliver lime in a covered wagon to nearby stations.
Anyone can deal with economic issues on the railway. In spring, lime is used at many stations for whitewashing trees and various structures. For this case, allocated shunting diesel locomotive with trailer covered wagon. Lime is loaded into this car from some station warehouse or freight yard.
They are loaded in such a way that there is room in the center of the car for inventory (shovels, buckets) and a person who will collect lime in buckets. The locomotive stops at every station on the site. All these stations are small and located in countryside. The person responsible for the transportation of lime can also be in a diesel locomotive along the way. But at each station, he is obliged to climb into this covered wagon, load lime into buckets and pour it out at this station in the designated place.
And the auditor, who called the head of the main station from which the dispatch of the diesel locomotive with the wagon was organized, asked to involve the guy from technical department.
To someone who has not worked on the railroad, this division of responsibilities may seem strange. But that doesn't happen either. And the head of the station, without calling the employee who had such a "high honor", through other employees of the technical department, gives him an order to ensure transportation. This is despite the fact that the offices of the head of the station and the technical department were in the same building at a distance of 50 steps.
The guy was dignified. He made an attempt to talk to the manager, to explain to him that this work is not the responsibility of a technical department specialist with a higher education. The stationmaster didn't want to talk. And this story ended with the fact that on the same day the young specialist wrote a letter of resignation. As far as I know, after some time he got a good position in a large private company. A specialist who knows his own worth will not be left without work.
But the head of the station, who showed cowardice, was left without a good promising employee. And he didn’t even try to explain to the auditor that the employees of the technical department were not obliged to deliver all kinds of building materials there, and he didn’t spend two minutes talking to his employee, who then wrote a statement. Or maybe this young specialist would have agreed to fulfill the order ....
You need to communicate with people. Especially if you are the boss. Subordinates should see their leader as a leader, protector and reliable person.
Summing up, I want to say that the railway is a special field of activity. And the presence in work book a record of a leadership position does not guarantee its owner a carefree life and high paying job. I know some DS who, under the pressure of frequent inspections, absurd instructions from their leadership, simply refused to take a leadership position.
Someone moved to another position, someone simply left the railway. There are many who have been given the position of station chief to move further along the career ladder. Great amount major railway managers have DS work experience behind them. Who was able to overcome this barrier goes further, who is not - chooses his own path. But one thing I can say for sure is that if you distance yourself from your employees, you can easily lose them.
This is the beginning of Chekhov's story, written in 1883, which is called “The Station Master”.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, a great connoisseur of the little things that made up the lives and work of many of his contemporaries, describes a funny incident that happened on such a night. We will not go into how Sheptunov got into an awkward position, but rather try to understand what his colleagues did and how they lived.
Today, the Russian Railways network includes 5,341 stations, 57 of which are marshalling stations that send dozens of trains a day. And it is hard to imagine a stationmaster who, like Stepan Stepanych, must personally meet and see off each train.
As an independent linear enterprise, the station was first conceptualized in 1848. Then, in order to improve traffic management, it was decided to divide the railway into territorial segments - distances, departments and stations between them. The departments were sections that included stations of class I and II, as well as a stage between them.
Station chiefs were in charge of the reception, passage and departure of trains, their duty was to oversee the condition - cleanliness and serviceability - of station buildings, the preparation of rolling stock, the accommodation of passengers, the reception and delivery of goods, cashiers, maintenance financial reporting and overall coordination of work.
The head of the station met, examined and escorted all the trains with a bell, kept order on the platform. It was not so difficult with two or three pairs of trains a day. Judging by the story, Sheptunov, for his part, ensured what is called the safety of train traffic. He made sure that the train was taken to the right, prepared track. He screams when he sees someone's figure: “Don't walk on the rails! Forbidden!"
Local historians of the city of Sestroretsk, Leningrad Region, found a document that tells how in 1876 a very real station chief made sure that no one was hit by a train. The station was fenced, and when it got dark, he locked the gate so that no one would walk on the platform in the dark. Parents of schoolchildren, who had a long way to go around after school in the winter, wrote a complaint against him. They proposed “arranging a gate in the fence at the gate near the station. The teacher will have the key, and the gate will open...”.
Stationmasters “before being appointed to a position, they were subjected to an exam for knowledge: provisions on signals; rules of technical operation; a general agreement between Russian railways on the mutual use of wagons; telegraph business; existing tariffs and taxation of goods, etc.,” industry documents of the 19th century report. Candidates for the position were presented by the head of the department, and appointed by the head of the road traffic service. Among the requirements were: age not older than 50 years, knowledge of the Russian language, "lack of physical disabilities that interfere with the performance official duties».
The well-known head of the Russian railway transport, Ivan Rerberg, in the book “History of the Operation of the Moscow-Nizhny Novgorod Railway for the First 25 Years” specified: “Appointment to the position (heads of stations. - Ed.) is made only after testing them in knowledge of the rules, regardless of this similar tests are carried out annually by senior agents of the service. This book also contains the names of station chiefs who have been successfully working in their positions since the 1860s on this highway for decades: Gimpel, Organovsky, Ignatov, Baikov, Surkin, Yaseikin, Lotov, Sokolov ... It is noteworthy that these names are not in the list of certified railway engineers: higher education they did not need, even at the largest stations there was enough knowledge and experience of the mover.
The head of the station in the 19th century was subordinate to the head of the department or distance. But even at a small station, he himself led a serious team. Now the colleagues of these specialists work in four or five services and directorates, and then they were all movers. Rerberg lists occupations subordinate chief stations: his assistant, cashier, clerk, clerk, weigher, train compiler, lamp maker, watchman, worker, accountant, goods yard superintendent, sealer, labeller, head of the turnout post, porter and even a servant at the ladies' room. Telegraphers also obeyed him. Telegraph devices on state-owned railways were maintained at the expense of the telegraph department, and on private ones - at the expense of the road. In addition to dispatches that provided traffic control, it was also allowed to receive private dispatches related to the railway: about forgotten things, about the time of arrival of a passenger or to call a crew to the station.
Of course, the lower was the class of the station, the less was its staff. For example, if the station belonged to the III and IV classes, the chief was supposed to perform, in addition to his own, the work that is now the responsibility of his assistant on duty and the cashier. In turn, at any station, both of these workers, in the event of illness of the chief, had to perform all his functions without the slightest difficulty.
The head of the station in tsarist Russia earned from 600 to 1800 rubles. per year, depending on the class of the station and on which road - private or state - it belongs. Railway historian Vitaly Semiletov wrote that at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the head of the Nizhny Novgorod station on the Moscow-Kazan road had a salary of 850 rubles. and at the same time, next to the station, a free apartment of five rooms (though very small - its total area was about 52 sq. M), housing was always built for the station chiefs. Compare the scale of earnings and prices of that time: a doctor received 600-1200 rubles a year, the head of a locomotive depot - 1200 rubles, a switchman - 182 rubles, a moving watchman (there was such a position) - 41 rubles. Such a transport worker as a barge hauler on the Volga could earn 8-12 rubles per month in a season. And here are the prices at the Nizhny Novgorod railway station: a loaf of bread - 5 kopecks, cabbage soup - 12-20 kopecks, porridge - 12 kopecks, the cheapest ticket to Moscow - 2.3 rubles, the most expensive, in the 1st class - 11 .5 rub.
The head of the station was a respected person in the city and tried to maintain a good name - both his own and that of the railway. At the Vyazniki station, the chief Stepan Knushevitsky bought hundreds of books for the local library, and when there was a big fire in the city, he donated hundreds of rubles to build houses for the victims of the fire.
But, probably, Ivan Ozolin received the greatest fame among his colleagues in Tsarist Russia. It so happened that in the fall of 1910, it was at his Astapovo station that the sick Leo Tolstoy suddenly got off the train, leaving Yasnaya Polyana. Ozolin accomplished a real feat, doing everything to save the great writer. He gave him his apartment, organized care and took control of the most difficult situation, when thousands of Tolstoy fans, reporters, police officials, all kinds of bosses poured into the small station. Soon, the head of the station had a stroke from the experience. The writer's family found the best doctors, but they failed to save Ivan Ozolin. And Russia saw that the railroad workers showed themselves to be the most worthy in a difficult tragic situation, namely the head of the station, who not only followed instructions, but really cared about the lives of everyone who ended up in Astapovo.

He exercises control over the implementation of daily and shift plans, compliance with the technological process, ensuring traffic safety. The direct management of operational work is carried out by shift workers: DSC, shift engineer for cargo and commercial work, station attendant (DSP). Each of them performs duties in accordance with job descriptions.
DSC - shunting dispatcher(in everyday life, a shunting dispatcher), manages all work on the implementation of the shift plan of the cargo station. Taking up duty, he gets acquainted with the operational orders, the daily plan for loading and unloading cargo, studies the applications of shippers for the shipment of cargo, the position of the wagon fleet at the station, access roads and approaches to the station. At the beginning of the shift, the DSC brings the work plan to the performers, and in the process of duty adjusts it for four-hour periods, depending on the operational situation at the station.
Throughout its duty, the DSC conducts work schedule (GIR) necessary for operational planning and management of shunting, cargo and train work, qualitative analysis work per shift, which records the occupation of tracks at cargo points, the progress of loading and unloading, the time of supply and removal of wagons, the number of wagons waiting for loading or unloading.
