BDZ PP 46-211 is captured at General Tudorov while assigned to working the day's services on the Petrich branch. Passengers are seen alighting from the SUB 52204 (10:40) service from Petrich on 16th May 2023, journey time of just thirteen minutes. This locomotive is one of three members of the class that were recently over-hauled at BDZ's Poduyane Depot in Sofia. It returned to service after being out-shopped in February this year. A slightly revised look for these overhauled Class 46/2 electrics has seen the under-frame now painted in light blue as opposed to the former darker shade with the three locomotives losing their distinctive large-size body side numbers and Cyrillic characters. There has also been a change of colour to the number plates from red to blue.
