The village of Lost arose near the railway station of Lost. The station was created as a marshalling station in front of Vologda. The name of the station comes from the small river Losta flowing nearby.
Lost station was formed in 1895 - 1898. But until 1917 it was junction No. 33 - Turundaevo.
During the Great Patriotic War, the Lost station was mentioned in connection with a report about the initiative of the machinist Tyunin, who, with the help of the dispatcher Pesterev, attached to his train another, abandoned at the Lost station, and brought to Vologda a double train exactly on schedule, the weight of which exceeded the norm by 1220 tons. This happened on February 3, 1942. It was recommended that the initiative be distributed among other locomotive brigades.
But the village of Losta arose much later. To the south and southeast of Vologda there were swamps with peat deposits. It is a good fuel and fertilizer. In 1936, a flax mill was founded on the southeastern outskirts of Vologda. The construction was carried out slowly, by 1940 the buildings of several industries, warehouses, workshops, and a working settlement were built. It was decided to use peat for heating. The development of peat began near the village of Turundaevo in 1940, the work was carried out almost manually. During the war, the workers who had gone to the front were replaced by women brought from remote areas of the region for recruitment. Peat was cut with special cutters, which cut out peat bricks, they were laid in cages to dry. Dried peat was sent by narrow-gauge railway to Vologda for local power plants.
After the war, the construction of the thermal power plant of the Vologda flax mill began, it was put into operation at the beginning of 1955, it worked on solid fuel - peat.
On the site of Losta there was a settlement of seasonal peat bogs of the Turundaevsky peat enterprise - several frame barracks. In 1953, the settlement of Turundaev peat miners began to build on this site. At first there were wooden and slag houses. The road was laid by motor transport column No. 7, the houses were erected by the builders of SU-201, now made of brick. The office of the Turundaevsky peat enterprise was also built here. Yuri Mikhailovich Kozlov was the director. In the 1960s and 1970s, the enterprise developed and grew stronger economically. Their own machines, tractors, bulldozers, excavators and special units appeared, which completely replaced the manual labor of peat miners, the main specialists are now machine operators. Previously, forests were cut down by hand, stumps were uprooted, branches were burned, and fields were plowed. And now powerful machines have begun to do all this. Here, for example, is how areas are prepared for peat extraction. Huge swamp, overgrown with forest. A universal excavator crashes into a forest thicket.
Like grass, he cuts trees with a steel saw. Capture "swept" 13 and a half meters. Rolls lie flat. One machine mows up to 2 hectares of forest per day. Hundred-strong tractors follow. They drag the deep milling drums behind them. Under their weight, the upper fallow and stumps are destroyed into small pieces at a depth of 35 - 50 cm. The loosened area is rolled with a heavy roller. Following milling, the excavator digs drainage ditches. Then comes the profiling drum. High and loose windrows run in even rows from the ditch to the middle of the field. Maps of peat fields after such processing become convex, water does not linger on them. Then comes the peat extraction process. Tractors DT-54 and others loosen the upper layer of the peat deposit with special milling drums. Peat dries in the sun, it is agitated by special tedders. At 40-50% humidity, the peat layer is rolled by rakes. Now there are peat harvesters. They are followed by caravanning machines that collect peat in piles or "caravans". Harvested peat is loaded into wagons on a narrow-gauge railway and transported to the thermal power plant of the Vologda flax mill.
In the 1970s and 1980s, about 700 people worked at the Turundaevsky peat enterprise. During the 1967 season, 554 thousand tons of fuel were produced. Many have been awarded for hard work. Nikolai Grigorievich Mitin, the diesel locomotive driver of the Turundaevsky peat enterprise, and Viktor Petrovich Bobrov, head of the locomotive depot, were awarded the Order of Lenin.
But in the early 1990s, the CHPP was converted to natural gas. Peat was not needed. The peat enterprise went bankrupt, the workers were fired, the equipment was sold. Peat is now used only for fertilizing fields, vegetable gardens and greenhouses.
Over the years, the Lost sorting and forming station has become one of the largest on the Northern Railway. A locomotive depot, an operation shop, etc. were built. Lost.

In the late 60s, multi-storey buildings began to be attached to the houses of peat excavators.
In the mid-70s, a new settlement of railway workers with heating, water supply, and sewerage grew up. Wastewater treatment plants were built.
In the 2000s, a microdistrict of cottages appeared. Around the village there are dacha cooperatives. Decision No. 596 of the Administration of the Vologda Oblast dated November 11, 1993. 30 rural settlements were included in the city of Vologda, incl. railway stations Lost and Lost - marshalling. Pos. Losta became a microdistrict of the city of Vologda. There are 41 residential buildings on the balance sheet of SE "Lostakomservis".
In 2000, there were 3663 people in Lost. In 2010 - 3200 people. These are railway workers, workers in education, trade, and the service sector. Many go to work in Vologda.
Simultaneously with housing, the infrastructure of the village was created. All streets are asphalted, trees are planted, there are playgrounds, a football field. Lost has a fire station, a bathhouse, a post office, a first-aid post, 2 municipal wells, manufactured goods and food stores. In 1962, the Peat Enterprise Club was built. Now it houses the Children's Art School and Library-branch No. 3 of the MUK "CBS of Vologda".

At the art school, children are taught music, dance, and drawing. The library was opened in September 1967, then it was located in a different building, larger in area than now. In September 1963 in the village. Lost, a three-story school No. 19 was opened, first 8-year-old, and since 1966 - secondary. In 1990 a new kindergarten was built. There is a small school for children with deviant behavior.

In October 2010, commemorative plaques were opened at school No. 19 in honor of Raisa and Viktor Nikonorov, remarkable athletes in the past - sister and brother, who in the 60s. studied at that school. Raisa Nikonorova is the first master of sports of international class in the Vologda region. She was the champion of the RSFSR in the 100, 200 and 400 meters, as part of the USSR national team she won bronze and silver medals in the 4 X 400 meters relay. Viktor Nikonorov became a two-time champion of the USSR.

In December 1996 A children's teenage club "Spark" was opened. For children there are circles of embroidery, woodcarving, rhythmics, hand-to-hand combat, tourism, cycling, tennis, holidays, competitions, discos are held.
In Lost, as elsewhere, many interesting people live and work. Among them is the chairman of the council of veterans of Losta - Lyudmila Valentinovna Manshinova. In 2010, on her initiative and at her expense, a monument was erected to fellow countrymen who died during the Great Patriotic War in her homeland in the village of Rezvino, Vologda District (formerly Chebsarsky).
Several books of his poems were published by the local policeman and poet Alexander Ivanovich Sokolov. Another amateur poet Alexander Ivanovich Zakharov wrote the following lines about his small homeland:
Lost became of considerable growth,
Trains have become long here.
Lost river - winding versts
Yes, a series of peat bogs.
A member of the Union of Artists of Russia, painter and graphic artist Zhuravlev Nikolay Anatolyevich, lives and works in Lost.
No generalizing literature on the history of Losta was found, only one article about the veterans' organization in the collection "Everything remains to the people" of 2005 edition. In preparing this material, numerous articles from the regional newspaper "Krasny Sever" and the regional newspaper "Mayak" were used by a talented freelance correspondent, a resident of Losta, a sawmill worker Vladimir Lyseev. Information about the organization of the Losta railway station was obtained from the Archive of the Northern Railway of Russian Railways.

In the Vologda Oblast in October 2017, a diesel locomotive and a train collided at the Losta station. In January of the same year, an ammonia cloud, like a genie, escaped from the tank and hung over one of the districts of Vologda. Both stories ended happily - there were no casualties. But there is a question: is it possible to minimize the risks of emergencies?

What kind of station is this?

Losta has existed as a railway station since 1875. Then it was the Turundaevo junction. Later, a settlement was rebuilt near the station, named Losta, after the name of the nearest river. Here they mined peat and worked at a flax mill. Peat extraction continued until the 1990s, when the local thermal power station was converted to gas.

In the 2000s, Lost had three and a half thousand inhabitants. Mostly they were people employed on the railroad. Now Losta is a station that is part of Vologda as a microdistrict.

What happened in January?

At night, a freight train passed through the station along the Lyangasovo-Volkhovstroy route. In one of the tanks, the fittings that blocked the exit of ammonia vapors to the outside turned out to be faulty. The chemical cloud, picked up by the wind, began to move towards residential buildings.

Policemen, rescuers of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, firefighters and epidemiologists cordoned off the territory. Poisonous vapors in the air were precipitated and decontaminated. In the yards of houses, measurements of the MPC of harmful substances were carried out - no deviations from the norm were revealed.

The emergency tank was driven away from the station, the leak was fixed. Further, an expert examination of the closing fittings began to identify the causes of the breakdown. There are still no results and results of the work of the commissions in the press, but there are reports of the next dramatic episode.

A brief chronicle of the events of October

October 19th, Lost station, 3:54 am. A shunting locomotive (designed for intra-station movement of wagons) and a freight train collide and leave the railway bed. Six tanks were attached to the train, which at that time turned out to be empty.

At six in the morning the situation was declared an emergency, and sixty people from the Ministry of Emergency Situations and twelve pieces of equipment were involved in the elimination of the derailment of cars from the tracks. Passenger trains were run on other tracks, so traffic delays were not significant. At 16.00 free movement on the rails was fully restored.

Possible causes of collision

About five months have passed since the accident at the Lost station, but the final causes of it have not yet been announced. The versions named were:

• passage of a shunting locomotive to a prohibition signal;
• dream of a locomotive driver.

Both versions are not mutually exclusive: having fallen asleep, the driver could drive through a red signal.

There is one more detail - the station driver, apparently, turned off the automatic control system (TSKBM), which is designed to assess the performance of the person on duty on the diesel locomotive and prevent a decrease in vigilance at the workplace. There is also a message that TSKBM was broken. The general preliminary conclusion about the causes of the accident is the "human factor".

happen all the time

Losta is a station belonging to the Northern Railway (SZD). This branch of Russian Railways can be considered relatively safe in terms of the number of accidents. Sadly, the North Caucasus and Oktyabrsky branches are in the lead, where there are especially many tragedies at railway crossings.

Consider a selection of accidents on the tracks over the past few years in the Kirov region (Gorky railway). We receive an average of more than one incident per year. This figure is underestimated, since not every case is mentioned in the media, and information about the real statistics of disasters is usually closed.

Leaks of poisonous gases and oil products from the tanks of freight trains are not uncommon. As a rule, they are eliminated quickly - the services of the Ministry of Emergency Situations act in a coordinated and competent manner. It sums up the technical condition of tanks, first of all, shutoff valves.

A common cause of a crash is a broken rail. Defective rails are recognized when cracks and delaminations are fixed on their surface. The speed of the passage of trains in such sections must be reset. If the risk of damage is determined to be high, an urgent replacement is required. The need for this was ignored, for example, in 2002 at the Vologda branch of the SZD. Then there was a major crash of a freight train, accompanied by the ignition of two tanks with fuel.

The causes of accidents are reported in most cases only presumably. This is due to the lengthy nature of the investigations. When the exact causes of a tragic event become known, they manage to forget about it. For example, the fire at the Pozdnino station that occurred in February 2014 was investigated for three years. Only in January 2017, the investigative committee announced the results of the work on the criminal case.

Can we overcome the "human factor"?

The table above shows the collision hours. Usually this is night or morning time, when a person can hardly overcome sleep and is not able to fully work. Apparently, this was the cause of the crash at the Lost station.

Official statistics recognize that most traffic accidents are provoked by errors of dispatchers and people driving cars. It is also necessary to add here an indifferent attitude and inattention to the technical condition of transport and roads. According to the Gudok newspaper, the railway industry now needs not so much investment, calculated in trillions, but immediate putting things in order.

A set of measures can improve the situation, including:

• development of automation;
• staff development;
• strengthening control.

At the same time, it hardly makes sense to strengthen the control of state supervisory bodies. According to the expert council on industrial policy, all the necessary rules and instructions already exist. More control over control will only reinforce corruption.

On the other hand, it makes sense to have additional surveillance by employers, consumer associations and just vigilant people, even those who are not directly related to the situation. They are able to prevent a catastrophe by paying attention to some random event and reporting it. It is important to establish a rapid response system where people know where to send a signal so that their information is verified and used.

It is impossible to completely eliminate tragedies, but it is necessary to strive to reduce their number to a minimum. The decisive role here belongs to people who are vigilant, with an active civic position and an increased measure of responsibility for their actions and what is happening around.
