Lunch time at Voluyak freight yard on 18th October 2024 and all is quiet. DB Cargo (Bulgaria) have two Class 86 electrics on site, 86-017 and 86-020. Coupled to the head of an eastbound intermodal service 86-017 is awaiting the arrival of the train crew and will be noted passing through Svetovrachane later in the afternoon to take the Sub-Balkan main line towards Pirdop and beyond for the Black Sea area. These former Danish EA 3000 electrics are a common sight in the Sofia area, often assigned to Inter-model workings.
