On January 1, 2023, train No. 769 "Afrosiyob" bound for Tashkent from Bukhara, had to terminate its voyage between New Chinoz and Chinoz station, due to a fault in the electric wire network. And the passengers were delivered on a spare train. "Uzbekistan Railways" announced the cause of the accident.
According to the conclusion of the expert group, the main reason for the interruption in the wired network was the so-called sky lanterns, which were launched by people into the sky during the holidays.
During its launch near the railway, this object hit the pantograph of the electric locomotive, causing a short circuit and causing the contact wire to heat up, causing the electric locomotive to lose power.
"Uzbekistan Railways" warns everybody to keep away from the railway areas and near trains in order to ensure traffic safety and maintain law and order in the transportation of passengers and goods.
