Two things that you are virtually guaranteed to see along the Bulgarian State run Railway system are the red and white painted chimney stacks and the heavily graffited coaching stock of BDZ PP. A classic example of the latter rolls in to Pleven with the ORD 20132 midday departure from Gorna Oryahovitsa to Mezdra on 15th March 2023, EMU set No. 32 127/32 128. This route still sees regular daily workings of these venerable Latvian-built RVR (Riga Wagon Works) EMU sets but for how much longer? A limited number remain in service in 2023.
