Polish IC 'Uznam' Train Delayed More Than 5 Hours by Fallen Tree

The Intercity train IC 82170 “Uznam”, operating the Świnoujście‑Chełm route, was severely delayed on Thursday morning after a fallen tree damaged the traction network near Wysoka Kamieńska. The train remained stationary for about four hours at Wysoka Kamieńska, and the total delay exceeded 5.5 hours, with the service only reaching Poznań Główny instead of the scheduled position near Warsaw.

Passengers reported that the train crew distributed bottled water and biscuits during the stoppage and kept communication ongoing, though some complained about insufficient real‑time information. Overall, the crew’s response was praised for mitigating the inconvenience caused by the infrastructure failure.
