Tree on overhead wires halts train service on Zasulauks-Priedaine section

Train traffic on the Tukums railway line was stopped on Friday evening due to a fallen tree. According to information published by the state-owned company Latvijas dzelzceļš (LDz), a tree fell on the overhead contact wires, leading to the closure of the section between Zasulauks and Priedaine.

The announcement states that the tree struck the catenary wires, which provide power to trains. As a result, all train movement on this section has been suspended. No details have been provided yet regarding when services might resume, and no alternative transport arrangements have been announced.

The affected stretch is part of the Tukums railway line. Passengers who intend to travel on this route are advised to follow the latest information from LDz. The company has not indicated the expected duration of the disruption. Further updates may be issued as the situation develops, but at the moment only the fact of the closure and its cause have been officially confirmed.
