Abuashvili, Artem Mihajlovich, Locomotive Engineer, Head Repair-Restoration Train #24
Here is a small group to Railway Worker Artem Mihajlovich Abuashvili covering 1944-1978. A nice example of a non-military serviceman of the Great Patriotic War.

Re: Locomotive Engineer Artem Mihajlovich Abuashvili
His second award is a Ministry Of Lines Of Communication Badge ''Excellent Locomotive Worker'' awarded 20th January 1946.
This is a Type 1 Variation 1 of the Badge. Made before the NarKom became a Ministry (and just using up old stock).

Re: Locomotive Engineer Artem Mihajlovich Abuashvili
His booklet states his position as "Locomotive Machinist" (Train Driver) GOREM-24 (Head Repair-Restoration Train #24). Unfortunately I can not find out any information at all on the works carried out by GOREM-24. GOREM-20 however has a more accessible story which illustrates the type of work carried out by such a unit.
1946-07-02 Medal ''For Valiant Labour During The Great Patriotic War 1941-1945'' П№366443 was awarded by a Local Georgian SSR Regional Committee but the stamp is too worn to tell which.

Re: Locomotive Engineer Artem Mihajlovich Abuashvili
His booklet gives his position as "Locomotive Machinist" (Train Driver) of Construction Train #153. If anyone knows any additional information on this train post away.
Finally he was awarded the Medal "Veteran Of Labour by the Georgian SSR on 6th July 1978.
