Railway Herald
Late evening at Voluyak on 8th June 2017, sees the freight yard come alive as overnight freight workings are shunted and prepared for their overnight departures. Romanian-built Electroputere Class 46/0 No. 46-044 of BDZ cargo manoeuvres past a rather sorry looking BDZ Skoda No. 43-545. When this image was recorded many of these Class 43 freight-dedicated Skoda electrics were in a very poor state cosmetically but in 2022 the situation has improved somewhat with several of the class having received major attention and a complete external make-over.
