BDZ-TP Skoda electric 45-163 and diesel shunter 55-131 make an interesting combination on this tank working caught on camera at Kostinbrod on 9th May 2023. The tanks are those of the cement variety which had been parked up earlier in the day in VoluyaK Yard along with 55-131. With the Skoda added and now piloting the westbound consist it is heading towards Dragoman and the Serbian border. Destination is unknown but one assumes to somewhere that is not electrified and requires diesel power for the shunting moves.
