After 2:00 PM, a tree limb fell onto a train traveling from Warsaw and damaged the overhead catenary system. The incident caused failure to the railway infrastructure, specifically damaging both the contact wire and the train&#8217;s pantograph.<\/p>\n<h4>Emergency Response and Evacuation<\/h4>\n<p>PKP staff and the fire department were dispatched to the site. Firefighters inspected the roof of the IC19132 train (Warsaw\u2013\u0141\u00f3d\u017a) before evacuating passengers to a nearby platform. Once the train was secured, crews cleared the debris from the lines.<\/p>\n<h4>Repairs and Traffic Management<\/h4>\n<p>Following the fire service intervention, PKP technicians repaired the damaged power lines. The affected train was towed from the site after 9:00 PM. During the repair period, long-distance traffic was diverted to the suburban line.<\/p>\n<h4>Passenger Impacts and Ticket Honoring<\/h4>\n<p>The incident caused extensive delays, route shortenings, and multiple cancellations across the Warsaw\u2013Skierniewice route. Effective at 3:52 PM, authorities implemented mutual ticket honoring between Koleje Mazowieckie and PKP Intercity services to assist stranded passengers.<\/p>\n<h4>Cancellations and Alternative Transport<\/h4>\n<p>Numerous regional services were cancelled or partially rerouted, including connections on the Pilawa\u2013Grodzisk Mazowiecki and Warsaw\u2013Grodzisk Mazowiecki lines.
