BDZ Cargo or BDZ TP Tovarni Prevosi SKODA Class 43 No. 43-526 is captured running L/E eastbound through Svetovrachane on 13th March 2024. This route runs between Iliyantsi and Yana, a single-track line running east/west around the northern outskirts of Sofia. Stopping services from the capital to Koprishstitsa and Karlovo use this route as well as numerous freight traffic on the Sub-Balkan main line through Pirdop. Svetovrachane has a fully operational passing loop through the station area the main building of which is obscured here by trees and 43-526, the latter an unusually very tidy example of the class.
