BDZ PP (Bulgarian State run Railway passenger Division) RVR Latvian-built Class 32 and 33 EMU sets stored at Brusartsi Junction in Northern Bulgaria awaiting disposal on 16th April 2017. Of particular interest in this view is set No. 33 008/33 007, one of just six sets that entered service in Bulgaria between 1990-1992. Similar in appearance to the adjacent Class 32 they had a lower top speed compared to the earlier batches of Class 32 EMU. Sadly, in 2023 this site has been completely cleared following the scrapping of all of the EMU sets that were present. on a brighter note, a limited number of the Class 32 units can still be seen at work in 2023, mainly in Central Bulgaria based at Gorna Oryahovitsa.
