BDZ PP (Bulgarian State run Railway Passenger Division) Class 44 SKODA 68E No. 44121 is recorded at Pazardzhik with charge of FAST service 2640 (05:15) Gorna Oryahovitsa to Plovdiv via Mezdra and Sofia Central on 18th October 2023. The rake of box wagons in the adjacent platform have just been deposited by the BDZ TP (Freight Division) Class 06 which can be seen in the far distance escaping from the camera lens now that the road is clear. Bulgaria's premier route LINE 1 between Sofia and Plovdiv continues to be upgraded to what one might describe as European main line standard.
