Train Departure from Nizhny Novgorod: Derailment Occurs

A passenger train from Arzamas to Nizhny Novgorod derailed on the Arzamas-1 - Soloveiko section in the Nizhny Novgorod region on August 9, 2022. Fortunately, no one was injured in the derailment, and the incident will not affect the movement of other trains.

One wheel pair of the locomotive in the suburban tourist train No. 6904 derailed, causing the train to come to a halt. The passenger cars were returned to the Arzamas-1 station with the help of another locomotive. The passenger cars will continue their journey from the Arzamas-1 station.

A repair train has been dispatched to clear the scene of the derailment.

While the cause of the incident remains unclear based on available information, it is important to note that a separate freight train carrying chemicals derailed near Zholnino in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast around the same time. However, the specific reasons for that incident were not determined or publicly disclosed.

As for the current status of the investigation, no definitive findings or official conclusions have been reported. The information accessible primarily describes ongoing conflicts and sabotage attempts on railway logistics within Russia but does not provide updates on a formal investigation into the Nizhny Novgorod derailment.
