In Central Bulgaria on the Sub-Balkan line at Klisura track machine No. 1365 manoeuvres away from the station area after returning from a spell of line-side clearance duty on 5th September 2022. It will stable on the the line to the extreme right-hand side of this image. The Sub-Balkan route between Pirdop and Klisura is a somewhat demanding one which swings it's way around tight curves, through long tunnels and over many viaducts as it cuts it's way along the southern flank of the Stara Planina mountain range. Klisura is clearly an important location when it comes to maintaining the line with several track machines present, in essence a small Depot for the maintenance department.
