Under the watchful eye of the station red cap BDZ PP SIEMENS Smartron No. 80-051 'CZAR PETER IV' runs westbound through Pleven-Zapad (Pleven West) on 4th October 2024. The FAST 2612 service departed Varna at 07:45, scheduled for an arrival time at Sofia of eleven minutes past three in the PM. Like all loco-hauled services currently working into the capital via this route 80-051 will not run in to Central station but will terminate short at Sofia-Sever. TBD TP SKODA No. 44-072 can be seen stabled in the distance. This Pernik-based company continues to gradually increase it's market share in the steadily increasing private sector freight market resulting in the brightly coloured red, white and blue locos working much further afield then hitherto.
