Railway workers gave a holiday to the whole city photo: Archive "KP". Two -color garlands of balloons, wrapping lanterns, white uniform shirts of the main characters of the celebration, numerous banners with branded symbols. All this undoubtedly attracted the attention of regular visitors to the park. And by the beginning of the celebration, not only railway workers and members of their families, but also ordinary Saratovites gathered at the well -known scene to all the scene.

And the holiday began with the wonderful, all of the favorite melodies, performed by the wind orchestra "Victoria". Then, Vladimir Gerus, Deputy Head of the Volga Railway, addressed the audience: - On this festive day, it is especially gratifying to note the fact that, despite the crisis and all kinds of economic sanctions, we are really proud of our profession and not in the word, but by deed, we are not only able to survive in any conditions, but quite successfully capable of reaching new vertices, but quite successfully, but quite success To develop and work even better than before.

And the results of the work of the Volga Railway more than convincingly prove this. Own loading also increases, and this, of course, is due to new growth points. Photo: Archive "KP". In the topic, the operational length of the Volga Railway today is over 4 thousand kilometers. The number of employees is 35 thousand people. Over the past year alone, the number of goods sent amounted to about 35 million tons transported on long -term passengers - 8 million people, 8.8 million people in suburban trains.

Valery Sarayev Valery Sarayev: - The railway is in constant development, and literally on the eve of your professional holiday by the governor of the region and the leadership of the Volga road, the next cooperation agreement was signed completely.

Summing up the work is an invariable component of each professional holiday. But, perhaps, only railway workers are so sincerely able to be proud of all achievements, so worry about everything that happens on their native road. Almost forty years of life is connected with me with railways. And even if I came to Volga only in the year, she immediately became a native for me. Nikolai Anatolyevich is the “middle” of the railway dynasty: his grandfather and an uncle, by the way, the honorary railway worker of the Soviet Union worked on the road, and now the eldest son went in the footsteps of his father.

In secret, Nikolai Anatolyevich said that he did not lose hope that the younger will not remain aloof from the family tradition. Nikolai Solomatin was very pleased with the holiday, and was very sorry that he could not bring the whole family to the Saratov for celebrations. And many of his colleagues received letters of honor and commemorative gifts. But back to the program of the holiday.

This year, the organizers tried to make it more than extensive and interesting for everyone: for the railway workers themselves, and for their children and grandchildren, and for all Saratovites, who were happy to join a professional holiday. At two concert venues, the groups of the Magistral Student Club of the Saratov College of Railway Transport, the Fleur Dance Studio, the Premier-Brass Creative Studio, the performances of the best magicians and other circus artists, etc., replaced each other.

Little guests of the holiday took part in various competitions, games and theatrical performances organized for them in the nursery Park site. And by the evening of all the participants, the largest surprise was expected - a concert of the star of the Russian pop fame. By the evening we went out to take a walk with my husband - and here's a please: a concert of my beloved singer!

It is great when people who celebrate their professional holidays are so generously shared by joy with others. And what final can the holiday have after such a star performance? Of course, only a magnificent firework, whose outbreaks could argue with the stars of that August evening with their multi -color and brightness. See more photos in our report.
