Conductor Goddan Tomsky
In the vast expanse of Siberia, a man named Bogdan Tomskey has found his calling as a train conductor for Joint Stock Company "Yakutia Railways". This fascinating individual, the subject of the "Our People" column on YAKUTIA.INFO, embarked on this journey in May 2021.
Born with a keen interest in long-distance trips, Bogdan finds the opportunity to visit ancient cities and their attractions irresistible. His routes extend far and wide, taking him to cities like Irkutsk and Vladivostok, as well as to more remote destinations thousands of kilometers from home, such as Vologda.
Bogdan's role as a conductor is not merely a routine job. It requires heavy work, patience, tact, and the ability to resolve complex conflicts. His duties include passenger boarding and disembarking, maintaining order in the salon, and assisting passengers to ensure a comfortable journey. In cold weather, his rural life experience comes in handy as he independently heats the boilers to ensure warmth in the wagons.
Away from the tracks, Bogdan cherishes his family time. His family consists of his wife from Khakassia, and two children: Kira (6 years old) and Kirill (3 years old). On weekends, they often venture into nature, taking photographs and occasionally returning to Bogdan's native Verkhoyansky district.
In his native land, Bogdan engages in activities such as hunting, fishing, and berry picking. Remarkably, he has occasionally discovered mammoth tusks in the district. Despite not yet receiving any major professional awards, Bogdan values warm thanks from passengers more than any accolade.
Before joining Yakutia Railways, Bogdan had initially aspired to pursue geology. However, he found himself drawn to a profession that is challenging yet romantic for many, as it is associated with the road. It seems that this unexpected career choice has led Bogdan to an exciting and fulfilling life.
Despite a lack of widely known public information about Bogdan Tomskey, his story serves as a testament to the adventurous spirit that can be found in the most unexpected places. His dedication to his work, his family, and his love for the great outdoors make him an inspiring figure in the world of rail travel.
In his free time, Bogdan enjoys embracing the great outdoors and nurturing a lifestyle that harmonizes with nature, engaging in activities such as hunting, fishing, and berry picking. This appreciation for outdoor-living is extended to his family weekends, transforming home-and-garden into opportunities for capturing beautiful nature photographs, often in Verkhoyansky district.
