Swiss built Mikado Class 2-8-2 Winterthur (3593/1935) No. 01.23 is seen at Pernik main station on 19th October 2024 following arrival with 'THE DAY OF PERNIK' rail tour. After performing a second run-round manoeuvre at Pernik the accompanying water tank was removed from the consist to be collected the following day and added to another steam tour to Radomir, also worked by 01.23. Billed as an attraction train the return leg ran as the AT6582 (15:20) Pernik to Sofia Central via a more direct routing through Vladaya and Gorna Banya. The yellow Bo-bov Dol coal hoppers are waiting for the road north behind a TBD TP Electroputere Class 46 electric locomotive.
