The real railway
The Children's Railway in Novosibirsk connects a number of remarkable places of mass recreation for citizens. Although it is considered an object of entertainment, it is not an attraction and by no means a primitive structure. DZhD - the real reduced railway line.
Two parts of the road were opened in turn, starting in 2005. Three narrow gauge canvases have a length of more than five kilometers. The activities of the children's road are supervised by adult railway workers, employees of the West Siberian Railways.

The staff of the children's railway in Novosibirsk
On the Zaeltsovskaya railway, exclusively teenagers of high school age who have received special training at a local training center are working. Novosibirsk officials managed to combine entertaining and cognitive leisure for young residents of the Siberian capital and career guidance work with high school students. In the process of work, the guys are more familiar with the professions of railway workers. The first three years they get a general idea of work. In the fourth and fifth training courses, high school students specialize in their chosen profession.
At the Railways, the guys practice as guides of cars on the platform apron, station managers, train compilers, switchmen, diesel locomotive drivers, signalmen, power engineers, dispatchers, broadcasters and other workers.
