It was a sleepy town outside of the city proper with some lovely old houses dating from a much earlier time when the railway was first put in place. The train station itself was an imposing structure, and there were some pleasing gardens surrounding the complex. It's sad that the Uzbek government won't allow full coverage so we really can't know the full extent of the damage. I also knew some people in Kogon, including several of my former students, and I haven't heard anything about them. Probably I never will...
