What appears to be a relatively new acquisition by private freight operator BULMARKET is this Romanian built Class 55 No. 55-248. The Ruse-based company have a small number of these diesel shunters at work at the main freight yard in Sofia, primarily to support BULMARKET inbound and outbound fuel/oil tank workings. These Class 55 diesel-hydraulic type BB machines can also be found working the yard for other operators, on this occasion the tank wagons are those of the Bulgarian State-run Railway company BDZ Cargo. This image records the busy scene at Iliyantsi Yard on 14th October 2024.
