Train traffic in the Dagomys-Sochi corridor faced interruptions after landslides and a wall collapse on the railway line. The North Caucasus Railway Press Service confirmed the disruption and outlined the steps taken to restore service. Officials emphasized that specialists moved quickly to clear the track and reconnect the network, restoring some measure of normalcy for travelers and freight alike. The Sochi mayor’s office reported through RIA News that there were no casualties. Trains were operating in both directions on the second line while work continued to fully reestablish normal operations.
In the Moscow region, more than ten cars diverted from a known route arrived the day before a landing in the Ivantsevo-Kostino area of the Savelovsky direction. Preliminary information indicated that eleven freight wagons derailed during that incident. Local authorities and rail safety teams are actively assessing the situation, identifying the causes and determining preventive measures to avoid a recurrence. Any necessary actions will be implemented promptly to ensure a secure, reliable transport service for passengers and cargo alike.
Current investigations are focused on understanding all factors that contributed to the incidents. Rail authorities, in cooperation with regional officials, are reviewing track conditions, equipment status, and recent maintenance activity. If there is any fault identified, the responsible unit will take comprehensive measures to address it and to minimize disruption to future rail operations. The aim remains to keep travelers informed and to maintain the integrity of the rail network across affected routes.
Previously a train near Guryevsk experienced a derailment caused by an inserted gas cylinder. The incident prompted immediate emergency response, with investigators gathering evidence and assessing the overall risk to rail safety. Authorities are committed to transparency as they work through the facts, communicating findings to prevent similar events and to reinforce public confidence in rail travel across the region.
