Abstract. The rapid development of heavy industry and the transport industry in Siberia in the second part of the 20th century became possible due to the labor of thousands and millions of people. A feature of the development of various industries in Siberia during this period was that this development were in places remote from the developed transport and social infrastructure. Because of this, the chiefs and ordinary employees, in order to solve the assigned tasks, were forced to make extraordinary decisions, overcome various difficulties, which in fact equated the performance of production and domestic tasks with labor and personal feat.

During the period under review, at the beginning the Krasnoyarsk Railway operated as an independent railway transport enterprise, since 1961 as part of the united East Siberian Railway, and since 1979 as an independent enterprise again. In the period from 1961 to 1979, when joint teams were created, and some of the employees were forced to move from the Irkutsk Region to the Krasnoyarsk Territory and from the Krasnoyarsk Territory to the Irkutsk Region, the necessary conditions for the exchange of experience were created. This had a positive impact on the development of the railway industry in the region. An important aspect of working on the railway was the possibility of career advancement: conditions were created for employees to improve their skills and acquire new specialties. There are examples in the history of Siberian railways when young people started their careers as a machinist and station attendant, and ended up in the highest positions of the Ministry of Railways.

The memories of railway workers about life, about what influenced the choice of profession and labor biography are given. It should be noted that the volume of the article allows to highlight only some aspects of the work biographies of only a very few people.
