I am Bolot. Born in Nurzhan in 1994, three streets from the station. Railway technical school, then a signalman's job at Jon-Aryk, and since 2019 a train dispatcher at the Nurzhan control room of Irad Temir Jolu.
This is a digital garden: notes that start as seedlings, grow into budding ones, and some become evergreen. They link to each other. Start anywhere. Most of it is about one railway, 690 kilometres of single track that has no wires above it.
