Nine minutes west of Plovdiv, BDZ PP EMU Set No. 30-011/30-012 is recorded departing from Todor Tableshkov with ordinary train service ORD10114 (16:05) Plovdiv to Podujane-Passenger on 13th October 2024. The station serves the nearby village of Zlatitrap but is also the location of the PIMK Rail intermodal base. Several PIMK locomotives were present on this day but the departing Class 30 unit is obscuring them all except for SIEMENS Vectron No. 80-961 'Prisiana'. Purchased second-hand 80-961 is one of two medium-power Vectrons acquired from Siemens/DMV. An additional high-power Vectron was also acquired in the shape of 81-972, all three carrying the original white and blue PIMK Rail livery.
