The reciprocal view from a well known vantage point near Razlog captures Romanian built Class 77 No. 77002 accelerating away from the town with the early evening service from Dobrinishte to Septemvri on 18th July 2019. Dating from 1988, the Class 77 fleet were built at the 23rd August Factory (23A) in Bucharest, a virtual copy of the German Henschel Class 75. A similar batch of locos designated Class 76 were also built by 23A for use on the Orjahovo to Cherven Brjag narrow gauge system, long since closed to all traffic in 2002.
