Railway Herald
Here we see BDZ (Bulgarian State run Railway) Class 2-10-0 No. 15.215 on public display outside the Ruse National Railway Museum on 23rd April 2017. It is one of two hundred and seventy five members sourced from all thirteen major 'Kriegslok' makers. Their good adhesion and power were an ideal design for the hilly lines of Bulgaria, often seen double-heading freights but also worked passenger trains as well. Images of this particular locomotive have shown it in action in 2006 on a main line charter but by 2015 it was noted languishing at the Mezdra dump site, since 'saved' and relocated to the museum.
