Due to the ongoing upgrade to the Sofia to Povdiv main line most freight services are being diverted to run via the Sub-Balkan main line via Pirdop and Karlovo. DB (Bulgaria) Class 86 No. 86-017 passes Iliyantsi before breakfast on 23rd September 2024 with an early morning eastbound container working. The lengthy consist can be seen snaking it's way across the Sofia to Mezdra Main Line (LINE 2) emerging from the freight only connecting line from Voluyak and beyond.
