Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) - Today, on 12 December 2019 at 07:30 on the Paigut GNS access road at the Paigut UE RZhU-Kokand station, 13 cars (6 empty, 7 loaded) were allowed to leave, followed by a collision with a dead end prism and the descent of two empty wagons.

A preliminary reason for leaving is the release of fixed wagons and their departure towards the prism due to the presence of a slope. Currently, an official investigation is underway on this fact.

The information circulated in the media that the incident occurred on the main route of the Andijan - Kokand section does not correspond to reality. The incident occurred on the driveway, which does not affect the operational operation of the main railway lines.

Also, the version that the main reason for the departure of cars is fog is not justified. Please also note that some media post fake photos that are not relevant to this incident.
