Conductor Goddan Tomsky feet the spotlight.
Profile: Bogdan Tomskey, Yakutia Railways' Passenger Train Conductor
Bogdan Tomskey, a dedicated employee of Joint Stock Company "Yakutia Railways," has been navigating the rails of Russia since May 2021. His routes extend to cities such as Irkutsk, Vladivostok, and even Vologda, thousands of kilometers from his native Verkhoyansky District.
Before embarking on this journey, Tomskey completed courses at Bryazgalov Transport Technical College, preparing him for the challenges ahead. An internship further honed his skills, setting him up for success in his role as a conductor.
Tomskey's profession is often associated with the romance of the road, and he shares this sentiment. He finds long-distance trips interesting due to the opportunity to visit ancient cities and their attractions. However, his work requires more than just a love for travel. Patience, tact, and the ability to resolve complex conflicts between passengers are essential skills that Tomskey employs daily.
During cold weather, Tomskey's rural life experience comes in handy as he independently fuels the boilers to keep the wagons warm. This task, along with passenger boarding and disembarking, maintaining order in the cabin, and assisting passengers for a comfortable journey, are all part of his duties.
On weekends, Tomskey enjoys spending time with his family, venturing out into nature, and taking photographs. His native Verkhoyansky District offers opportunities for hunting, fishing, and berry picking. Occasionally, he stumbles upon mammoth tusks, a fascinating reminder of the region's rich history.
Despite the challenges and long hours, Tomskey finds satisfaction in the warm thanks he receives from passengers. Each small victory contributes to his motivation, which is primarily his family's well-being. A stable income allows him to pay off his mortgage and take care of his loved ones.
Recently, Tomskey has been the subject of a profile in the "Our People" series by YAKUTIA.INFO, highlighting his dedication and passion for his work. While he has not yet received any major professional awards, his contributions to Yakutia Railways continue to make a positive impact.
Tomskey hails from the north of Yakutia, and his wife is from Khakassia. They are proud parents to Kira (6 years old) and Kirill (3 years old). Despite the demands of his job, Tomskey remains committed to providing for his family and ensuring they have a bright future ahead.
Bogdan Tomskey, despite his career as a Passenger Train Conductor for Yakutia Railways, has a unique interest in home-and-garden activities, particularly in his native Verkhoyansky District where he enjoys outdoor-living, hunting, fishing, and berry picking. His lifestyle seamlessly blends his passion for his profession with his love for nature and family.
