The Pointsman (1968)
Ivan Perepasov has been serving at the railway station as a pointsman for twenty-two years. It seemed to him that all he could do was run along the arrows, give signals, light lanterns. The shift was coming to an end, Ivan hurried home, where his wife and eight children were waiting for him.

Ivan, in despair, rushes onto the adjacent track and falls under a maneuvering locomotive...
